Yes the woman needs to stay in the shot. If you crop from just the top it would probably work best, IMO. The juxaposition in the size and action of the two people is what makes this interesting.

I love the lady on the bench! What a great counterpoint! Why don't you just crop off the top of this one? I think that would look great. |

| I like this. Yes, it's a tight crop but it makes him look like an exciting blotch taking over your photo. His pose is perfect. The OOF background kind of blends into him, though he is clearly demarcated by color. This "blending" keeps the centered composition from being too dull. |

| Thanks for the comment - actually, there is space on the other side, but there are passers by, which I wanted to try to cut out, hence the first version. I'll have another go. |

Not sure which one to make the comment on but I agree about Maestro 1 not having enough room to move but I think Maestro 2 is just a little too much room but only because of the lady on the bench behind him. how about somewhere in between. It looks like it may be hard to do but maybe somewhere really close to the lady on the bench and the man just behind the bench? I think this would keep Maestro's shadow in the shot and give him room to move. I'd actually like to see a little more room on the other side too but, I'm guessing there isn't more there to give.
Either way I like the rest of it. The red is very red so a tiny bit of desat might work but be careful not to get it washed out. In fact its fine the way it is here too, its just a matter of taste I suppose. |

Feels squished to me. He's moving, tons of energy, but no room to move.
The red draws my eye, and I like it - bright but not overwhelming. |
