Comparison help

I took the first image and like the "shape" but noticed it needed lens correction. So I adjusted it and decided to cut off the entire modern cooler on the left side of the image. But this image is too "square" for my likes. So I am asking for opinions 1 or 2. Thanks.

Hi Alan- I prefer the second image. Love the "period" look and the cooler has to go! I like the tighter crop on no. 2.

Second image has an aspect ratio of (slightly over) 4:3 . A classic ratio, still in use.
And I like the second much more without the (bright) modern vending machine.

Alan, the second image is better by far IMO. The aspect ratio of an image is secondary to the content and the message in my book.

Thanks for the comments. Kerry, I agree with what you said about aspect ratio.
