I really have a thing for the unusual image. I am a sinner big time when it comes to the "C" word (cropping) and this pair of images are an example of the extent of my cropping depravity. While I am not a bullseye shooter by any means, I often find the sweeter image in post production. In addition I lean towards the Darth Vader side of exposures as well, so the image 2 is a bit more to my liking because of the pepper tree in the background all ominous looking. The 1st image is more straight forward in exposure and color but as you can see it is cropped to show a completely different flow. Is this enough babbling to qualify for the test post, Wendy? LOL!
It is a good thing that you have that ridiculously enormous camera if you are going to rely of cropping all your pixels out. Have you considered the time it takes to do all that cropping? Time for cleaner shooting. We know you have a great eye for composition. Fantastic photo by the way... yes, the cropped one is better.
