I hope you don't mind me playing with your crop. Let me know if you'd like me take it down. A personal preference, but I like less space to the left of his profile. The revised crop causes me to keep my eye more comfortably on the Rugby fan's face, as opposed to exploring the the "empty" blackness on his left.

I really like the capture/profile. The raindrops add to the scene IMO - if the rain/wetness was not readily apparent on the spectator's hood then I'd prefer them cloned out.
I think you can go a lot of ways with the crop, but any way you end on I think that some needs to come off the right side. To my eyes, since we can't really see the peak/decline of the hood it makes the head look exaggerated in size.
Below is Bob's crop with the right edge cropped as well as one with more of a squared crop that Steve was going after.
I dig on the Bob's crop as the line of sight makes a great "cut" through the image about 1/3 from the top and I like Steve's as it fills the frame nicely without removing all of the negative space for the subject to "look" into.

Well done guys - and we've come around to a variation on Dave's original suggestion (original thread) re square crop.
Seeing both for comparison, I prefer the top as the lower gives me a sense of too cramped. Good and informative work! Helps bring the raindrops into play more also.
By habit (and convenience) I usually settle on a 2:3 aspect which does not fit here.
Thanks again,
Bob
