Lightroom's object removal

A friend asked for a print of one of my photos of the local burros.  Although I ended up printing the original version, I gave LRC's object removal a try to see how it works to remove some buildings in the background.

Definite improvement, especially since those buildings were white.

I think this is an acceptable result and most people will not notice
this manipulation.
However, to remove complete buildings may be tricky, because you never
know whether there are people looking at your photo who know the area.
Nowadays, this removal tool is not allowed in many photo contests.
For me object removal in LR is very useful to remove distracting things
in my nature photos which I did not observe in the field.
Also, I see nothing wrong in removing unknown persons which are dominant
present on photos of e.g. touristic places.

That worked very well & is a big improvement. Just for laughs you could
try removing the burros instead!
