Crop or not?

[Will]

Could you guys give me an opinion on these two versions. Which do you think is better, or does it make no real difference?

Thanks.

Slight crop to centralize the people.

This may sound crazy, but the thing that's the tiniest bit visually annoying are the two little lighted signs inside on the left. I played with it, and once you start cropping to eliminate those, it's hard to stop. So for me, your slight crop isn't all that much of a difference. But you might play with going even further. Just my humble opinion, offered for free so consider its value wisely.

crop and airbrush those lights out

Will,

I think the cropped one highlights the overall inherent symmetry of the image. I have to agree on the lights too... I'd lose them, they're simply too distracting. It's a great image.

Cheers,

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try.......... I think you were right.
