This is slightly less cropped, but still cropped from the original. Looking at the "Negative Space" competition this month, I began to wonder if I should crop as tightly as above, or more like this? I just feel like all that nice detail is lost on the wider view... maybe it all depends on the image intent, but it's hard to have the best of both worlds without viewing the uncropped image at like 60" on my TV or something, heh.
