I took this shot of my son the other day. I'm not sure whether I should crop the image or leave it as. Would like to hear others think.
C&C always appreciated
Cheers Andrew

Crop it!
But maybe go to below his elbow, and move a smidge left.

I think both are equally as good as the other. However, with the uncropped version, I'd clone out the random 'vine' haning from the tree, I think it's distractive.

I'd crop, but even more than you've done.
You don't need all that space to the right as we look at this image. The tree, your son, just a bit of the background to the right ...
