Is this pneumonia?

You are not a/my doctor. This is not medical advice. Does this chest x-ray have anything that jumps out at you?

Had a chest x-ray today after my second trip to urgent care in two weeks for asthma-like symptoms with a burning pain on the left side of my chest, and cough that's progressed from unproductive to productive (with clear-to-yellow sputum) over the last two weeks.

(Note that the low quality of the photo is due to placing it on top of a clear plastic bin to shoot it. I think you can see the bin's logo up by my trachea.)

Curious what folks think of this xray, as it will probably be weeks until I hear back from my doctor.

Entirely unqualified opinions from people who have no idea what they're talking about are of course happily welcome.

Thanks

I think the top shadow you highlighted is your heart. Compare to the location in this diagram at Wikipedia.
