Thank you guys for the comments. I realize that most people just click away when they see something with which they don't agree. I do the same thing sometimes because I don't want to offend or make someone feel bad. I really appreciate the feedback and I'm not offended at all. I have a thick skin and I've never worn cropped pants before. Okay, taking your comments into consideration, I made two shorter mock-ups. If you consider the first pictures "long" then this would be the medium length. I do think it looks better. I didn't want to go short-short with the cropped pants because they are supposed to be 7/8 length pants. That's what Burda says anyway.
This would be the shorter length.
Here's a composite of the three lengths so you can compare (you'll have to click to see the whole thing). Do you think I need to go even shorter?!?

Thanks for the advice!
ETA: So I just did a search on cropped pants and came up with this article at www.youlookfab.com. The top three cropped pants are "safer" than the bottom three choices. It looks like I'm trying to attempt one of the "riskier" lengths. Maybe I'll try a much shorten version and see what you think.
