Well, maybe it is just me, but I appreciated the fact that the original shows the main subject NOT in the center. With the original there is a lot of room off to the left, but I don't find the backdrop the least bit distracting. The cropped version offers a smaller angle of view, where as the original shows more visually- that's just my style. It's kind of like watching a 4:3 ratio tv vs a 16:9 ratio widescreen tv.
The ball was blown out not because of the PP, but the orignal exposure while taking the shot. That also bothers me, and probably would be my only nitpick with this shot.
To all who'ev suggested opinions in this thread, thanks.
