Hi Tina, I see it as a tool when shooting a story on this man, let's say a wood cutter etc, (Tom) I have no preference other than the wider angle with the bokeh effect has too much throw away space which I don't think under regular use in a photo story it would be used in this wide cropping. If you were to crop it tighter, it certainly and cleanly separates the subject from the back ground making it a viable tool for that use... A clean background. By the same token if you were establishing the cutter guy & his farm back ground all in one frame, then the first is the logical clean choice. Stay wide as a location establishing clean photograph. So it's the final use of the photograph that would determine use, rather than which do I like. For what it's worth. cheers, ted
