#2 is my vote. I feel it captures you right away and draws you in. #1 has too much around it.
Good Luck

Sometimes, it is better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. Unknown

The reason the crop looks better is because the subject has somewhere to go oppossed to the original where it looks to be more stuck in the corner. Might just be be but I really like the image to have scene. Otherwise it is just simply a frog.
