Cold Morning in Minneapolis
Another cold morning in Minneapolis today, 15 below zero Fahrenheit — that's 26 below Celsius for the rest of the world. Thank God, there's no wind. I climbed up on the roof today for this picture. When it's this cold, the air is very clear, visibility is great and it would be nice clean air if it didn't sear your lungs with cold. This is my home.
No, I like the cropping the way it is. In my opinion, the top pic is more intimate. This gives us a sense of being there at street level and seeing the empty desolate street.
Rob is right, top pic is more intimate.
