A B&W Portrait In New York

Great shot!! I like the original but the cropped version is better!

 

I really like the cropped version, it has much more impact for me.

 

I like the original as I get more emotional info from it. It also works better.
The legs with the columns are wonderful. The structure behind him looks like it's a place he feels safe and secure. It's the strength that he's leaning on in the world he's living in.

 

I still prefer the crop because I want to see his facial expression. From the framing it's still possible to see that he's leaning into something solid and safe and his body language also lends itself to this supposition. The perspective in the uncropped version adds to the fact that he looks small and vulnerable. It's a great capture whichever way you look at it anyway  

 

I like both, But, I prefer the original, it is more of an environmental portrait, that has a different, more social message.
