Actually, I was torn between the two - this crop is fine with me! Looks good! ~Sharon

I agree with your choice of the "vert" one Max. Excellent!

I decided to go with the "vert." The tighter crop cut off the bottom of the lectern and the black base, making the image (I thought) dull, and shifting the attention to the slide. So I took Sharon's suggestion but the other preferences. Thanks for your help! - Max

Like Sharon's pick too, but was afraid it gives the photo on the wall more emphasis than the photographer himself. Both are excellent crops imo.

Max, I like the fourth one the best. It's the tightest and gets right to the point. I am glad you didn't mind my critique! ~Sharon

I like the "vert" one, second from the right.

Sharon, that's an interesting idea. And surprising to me, since I usually crop very tight. I have posted several crops athttp://www.pbase.com/mistermax/abelordo - what do you think? I'll give my "final answer" tomorrow. - Max

Very interesting, Max! What would you think to cropping the whole right side of the picture out, up to the blue line behind the photographer? The flag and the shadows don't really add to the story you are telling in this shot. Have you ever seen a working camera obscura? I saw one in Wales years ago and it was just amazing. ~Sharon
