    Lovely picture, but I would have cut off the backs of the people on the right and the man in the chair on the left. That focusses the viewer more onto the lady who is 'longing' (in my opinion)

    Ditto to Alan's thoughts. If you consider Alan's left crop, I'd try to keep both iron rosettes in the fence. Those circles in the line to the woman's face appeal to me. they connect her to something of the place.

    I think you are right about the RHS , I could have cropped the backs of them, but I like the way man sits but on the other hand it will be a stronger portrait without him.

    ¡Hola!
    It's a nice scene, and I agree with the proposed cut, focusing on women.
    On the other hand, out of curiosity, have you checked how the man in the chair looks without applying the lens correction in the development?

    When I open Q2 files on LR, it automatically applies the correction and there is no way to disable it. But I can open them in Luminar, I will do and post it here.

    I think this works better, thank you for suggestion but I am wondering what you think ?

    Well!
    In the first version, the crop proposed clearly seemed to me to be the best option. In this second version, i think the man in the chair goes from being an uncomfortable element to being acceptable…

    The man in the chair has his arm cut off. I'd like to see it without him.
