Portland street photo

I've had my camera a month or so and just love it. But feel that I want to make sure that I'm going in the right direction with whatever style I choose. So honest critiquing is what I'm looking for. Thanks for looking.

I like the vibe in these pics. However in my opinion I think they're too closely cropped.
In the first one the guy on the left is cut off but I love the guy on the right!! He's really getting into it! Also the motion in the drum sticks is great.

For the second one, I don't think there's enough information there to really tell a story, unless you've seen already seen the first one. I love the idea but I wish I could see more of the dancing guy.

I like the first one better than the second. In the second one, I like the colors and the action, but can't decide what the subject is. I think this is because the dancer's head is cropped out (so I guess he's not the subject) and the head of the drummer is hidden behind the dancer's sleeve (so I guess he's not the subject either).

Also, both are a little too busy for me.
