Hi Peter,
On the PAW selection I think the body on the left is more of a distraction, 
on my screen it appears sort of there, but not.  Put your picture on the 
screen, crop the window off right at the left window frame taking it out 
completely.

This retains a composition balance. It also strengthens the "shopper." 
Without being in his face sort of.

The alternate is cropped too tight, just the reverse of what you have in the 
first. Taking the left window and other body out creates a simple clean 
balance without you "standing on top of the guy." As it appears in the 
second posting.

I believe another LUGGER made a similar assessment.
