I am thinking about entering this photo in a CAPA competition. Which one do you think. The second is cropped tighter, in a different aspect ratio, and I slightly darkened the background by bringing the exposure down with a mask. I think the second one is stronger.

original

New Version

newer version is better, because it makes it more up close in personal. in my own opinion ............good job on the photos

Yup, I think you're right. I read a quote on here somewhere (sorry can't remember the source) about if your photo isn't good enough, you weren't close enough. So good call
