When cropping this image from portrait to landscape it was important not to crop out any of the important elements of the photo that carry the story. Using the rule of thirds the cyclist is still the main aspect of the photo whilst maintaining the feel of the background and horizon. In the portrait image it involved a lot more of the road behind the cyclist and made the cyclist feel a lot further away so cropping it to landscape I feel has improved the image.
For this image using perspective crop I straightened the image to take some of the uneven ceiling of the subway out of the picture as I just felt it was a lot of empty space that didn’t really ad much to the picture. This was also the case for the floor where the main building of the subway should be the focus.
