Does the crop still work

[AdrenoJunkie]

This is the before picture. I composed it so that your eye is led deeper into the photo ( I hope).

This is after cropping it for printing. Is your eye still led deeper into it or is it now led out of it? Critique on comp, pp, settings, DOF and anything else is welcome also.

After 154 views is there NO ONE with an opinion on this shot?? I'm printing this shot to sell and possibly make postcards out of it since I live in a tourist town and it's a local landmark. I'd really like to know if it's up to muster. So please, if you have an opinion, post it.

Personally, I prefer the composition of the second and cropping of the first. The distance of the tower looks a lot more surreal in the first one.The second has better coloring to it, for my view.

I think it would work better if you made the sign darker.
