To crop or not to crop: I took this picture a few weeks ago and initially decided to crop it and move the subject to the right of the frame. I try not crop my images excessively but in this case I felt that the surroundings didn't add much. And cropping seemed a way to bring the viewer closer to the woman in front. But when I came across the orignal image yesterday, I realized that I made a mistake. While there's not much going on around the woman, the surroundings provide more context and reveals more of the street's grit. The cropped image is below the fold. What do you think?

I think the crop works well. There isn't much informative stuff going on the right side of the frame, so this focuses the viewer on the subject a bit more, IMHO. Nicely done. Good use of black & white.
