To crop or not to crop?

ok I guess for once I have to agree with the others minus mr Jack Ass.
The first one is a lot more interesting simply because of the cropped version kinda looks even more scary and the cropped background made this old man look even more lonely and grumpy hahaha kinda like mr Jack Ass. Maybe that's why he was e-raging because this is a picture of him?? :O

I'm not an expert by any means, but I really enjoyed the uncropped version better. It does provide a better feel to the image and in and of itself tells a story IMO. I agree with most others about the cropped one in that it becomes just a random portrait rather than street photography.
