An Exercise in Cropping

A small task for the week ahead; how would you crop either or both of these images? Please take 10-15 mins this week and crop the pictures how you would were they yours. What would you do and WHY? Resulting images and brief description to be posted back to the blog.

Note: I am having problems consistently getting posted images to enlarge to their full size, rather than just the thumbnail. Not sure why, as I have made all the images roughly the same pixel dimensions (where possible) or overall file size. Let me know if you want the full size images for this.
