Default Help with cropping.

Walking cropped

I was in the city today and was experimenting with slow shutter speeds. This is the cropped version of this photo: Walking on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I was wondering if I could get any feedback on the crop. I kind of like it, but would like to get other people's point of views. Thank you very much!!

Cool motion in this photo.

To me, there's too much dead space on the left and bottom So, maybe try a square crop, with starting the square in the upper right hand corner and increasing the size until it looks right?

My main issue with the photo, though, is that the guy's face is too far up at the top of the frame. Not sure what to do about that, though.

Pushing Through cropped

How is this? I can't really do anything about the person's head being too high in the photo because that is how it is in the original.

Much more impact in your cropped version, from my pov. The face and motion really stand out.
