Subject: [Leica] Slightly OT: To Crop Or Not

Original photo taken with a Leica M3 and Summicron 50/2 so slightly 'on'
topic.
After posting a cropping question on photo.net I asked myself 'when is
cropping ok'?
Who determines if there is a line to cross and in what circumstances
(editorial vs personal appreciation of a photo).
I summed up my ramblings here:

and would be interested in others thoughts.

Does the process matter - or is it just the final image that matters?
