cropping originals

i wrote a while back about extreme cropping and how sometimes we need to search for the image within an image.

well, i want to get your opinion. this is another picture of emily g. that i took, and for whatever reason my eye is very drawn to it. it's nothing fancy, but it's exactly what it is that i like.

but i also felt like something might have been a little off, so i tried cropping it differently and wondered what y'all thought. which do you prefer?

[a] original


[b] zoom
