Dunno - the second crop seems to constrict the fisherman and even the entire photo, like there's some ceiling pressing down.

I prefer #1, even though there is some empty space in the sky which does not add to that version of the photo, because the fisherman is larger in #1, and he is the subject. #2 makes him smaller in that version, and to me it is not as appealing of an image.

(I'm guessing bait (would be mullet in Florida).)

#1 for me!!!
Critique? Next time, consider waiting for fisherman to take another 2 to 4 steps forward, putting him in about one third of the image.

I prefer #1. Just like animal shots though I think it would be better to have him facing slightly TOWARDS the lens not away.
