Love the crop and I think either image is strong by itself, when you do an A _ B comparison though each has it's strength and weaknesses. (There's never a "perfect" image treatment) I like the facial tonalities of the 1st edited image but like the more subtle vignette of the second. The first shot's dark fade makes him look like an amputee.

But, I think if anyone just saw one shot by itself they'd say wow...
