Cropping - Process or Just Wing It?

[CadrePilot]

Do you have a process you follow for cropping?
Or do you just play with it until it pleases you?

Here are three from the same large pano:







And another two from a different pano of the same viaduct:





Which would you keep of each batch?
Or would you crop entirely differently?

Thx,
Jon

I try to follow some composition rules. For instance in photos like yours I try to use golden ratio or rule of thirds.
