Thanks all. The process itself of getting to the edit was fun in itself and don't worry, the original is not neglected either, I still like that too for its "wholeness".

Many good images here.

The reality for me is that your first crop took out the most distractions in the photo. The patch of sky in the upper corner served no purpose whatsoever, unless you were aiming for distraction in the first place. Second, losing the short post worked a wonder on the left side.
Otherwise there are good arguments for every other crop shown on this thread, EXCEPT any that would affect the posters across above the lady. If I knew they were there and you cropped them the whole image would lose the most impactfull portion shown.

Thanks, the iterative process is rather interesting and fun and is also not one I go through too often.
