Lovely - I think both are nice but the crop is effective

I love the 2nd shot, the original crop.  Great stuff.

I like messy, chaotic shots- photos that make me look for the main subject, the main emphasis of the photo.  That is why I love the original version so much.  Her intense, passionate gaze in such a sea of everyday life really stands out- you just have to look for it.  And when you find it, there is nothing better than that.

I too like the original crop. Beautiful framing and frame within a frame, caught my eye immediately.

Nice shot !:-)  I wonder about the crop, I would have preferred a slight crop from the original (less guys from the foreground) but more environment then in your final crop !
Still, an extraordinary face... :-)

You have captured a wonderful intensity in her gaze.

I feel that an intermediate crop might work very well.
