Feel deeper

certainly one of the better shots you've posted lately. and a good example of a joyful expression, though this is with the 35, right?

i can see why you might crop this way, though without knowing what you took away, it is hard to evaluate. i like the converging lines of the street, but i would probably prefer more space around the figures to the right and above (assuming you don't have the feet), placing them closer to a rule of thirds line.

At this point as a developing artist, I am trying to "feel deeper."

The vast empty space on the left, the naked street near Times Sq at night, leads to the zone of feeling on the right.    You're welcome to prefer any of the crops I rejected.  To my eyes they lack emotional punch.

Square - Euro-lyricism

What you're suggesting?
