I like the picture a lot but the grainy frame (or mat) disturbs me

Removing Eric's senior citizen alters the visual balance.

Because of that, it seems to me that the second version loses its right to its shape. I think it now needs to be cropped to a more horizontal format.

Thanks rabanito, Rob C, and Eric (yet again). I'll think about this image a while longer before committing to a final version.
