Sometimes, it's advantageous to let the viewer use their imagination. In this photo, the main focus seems to be the very interesting mailbox, not the locale, so I like the cropped version best. Indeed, the painted box and support alone makes me imagine what the owners and countryside might look like. Just my two cents. Thanks for posting the shot.

Thanks Doug. Good points I need to think of when cropping or framing a shot.
