The problem is being comfortable in yourself that "you" don't consider it necessary. If the case of two scenic images were being judged by me, and all else being equal as is true in this case, I'd have to go with the cropped image as being more attuned to the rules requiring a compositional balance. I, also, realize I'm allowed to chose the one I like for my wall.
