Hello all, I shot this photo at this years fourth of July parade and have been looking at it for 2 months. I decided to crop out the woman and I do like the photo, but I feel like I turned a street shot into a portrait. What do you think? Thanks...Marty


Since it's not overly obvious what the woman is doing, I think you made a wise choice in cropping her out. Emotional shot this way and doesn't confuse the viewer.

I agree with this statement also. the lone vet brings out more character to the photo.

The portrait (cropped) has more impact for me.

I like the cropped version. Even though the lady is blurred, she is a distraction to me.
