I like that Val cropped the top line of lights off--they were too close to the edge and tended to pull my eye out of the frame. I also like the added saturation given the flag. I still prefer the original uncropped bottom edge--I liked the leading line that the yellow stripes provided.

I agree with Barbara, the crop I would choose is about a inch off the top. The lines give a feeling of being able to walk right on into the image. It is a more powerful, dramatic image to me with more foreground. Also one of my favorites. If I were to win a photo on here somehow, this would prolly be my choice. I can't tell you what that image says to me. It is awesome. Read my comment on Todd's posted iamge. I do like the saturation in the flag but prefer the men in the original image, they seem to me to be the beast's keepers.
