Indeed, there is no need of crop...

Don't! Just consider how to provide more like this. Face it, you've boldly put forward a work that others might throw away because it stirs you in some way. Well it moves me too! It's time to interview yourself and determine how this comes to impress, call, engage or challenge you.
Sam, I'd ask about two aspects. The first is the masking of identity. We see people and we only know what they look like and from that we guess who they might be as a character or player in life. Here the individual clues are half missing. So who is this person? .....................and who are we to ascribe any judgmental value to another person, (who really only know superficially), yet we assign them to some category, male, female, student, window cleaner, doctor, slut, gang-banger, waitress or chanteuse.
Next we have, in the composition, insertion of one color over another. Again a simple motif, but seemingly part of the design.
None of these aspects I see may be important at all to you in how this "snap" came to be elevated to a picture one would get a thrill from and be proud to share. When you explore this, take more siblings and come back and show us what happens next!
