This is a shot I grabbed today (27/06/09) over in Broadgate, near Liverpool Street station.
I gave the image a hi-contrast effect, I felt it suited the shot.

Here is the full-frame shot. I quite like this, I don't really mind the black edge on the right.

I'm with you Pauly, the full-frame shot feels more open then the cropped one and the black part give it some peace, the crop is quite busy.

Why did you chose to crop it while you liked the full-frame better?

Sorry Stefan, I do still prefer the 1:1 crop, I think it has more impact.

No problem Pauly, thought that you said you liked the full frame as well (more) so hence the question.
