I think it depends on what you are trying to convey. The cropped version makes the boom of the irrigation device much more prominent and dramatic. Uncropped version gives a broader and more landscaped view which, incorporating the road, give us an added dimension to the image. Overall, I prefer the dramatic of the cropped version.
Thank you Tommy for your thoughtful comments.

Uncrossed version, more interesting "story."

Two versions of a large center pivot irrigation system in rural Nebraska. Your thoughts on which you prefer? Or maybe neither?
Number 2 has a better composition IMHO

Thanks alliebess. I hadn't thought about that. I planned on having the end of the sprinkler in the corner but wasn't certain how I would crop it when I took it.

I agree with the number 2 as it has more depth and it gives the eye a place to travel and not just stare at the sprinkler.

Thanks David. I kind of wish now I had included more of the road than I did.

Thank you for your very thoughtful comments wdross. When I took the picture I was hanging out my car window trying to make certain the tip of the sprinkler was in the upper corner, not giving much thought to the road. As I mentioned above, I now wish I had taken another with more of the road.

Cropped. I was always taught to get rid of anything that doesn't pertain to the subject.
