Wow, people on this forum have a really keen eye for things that would never even occur to me. Even looking back at the pictures, I cannot see a single thing wrong with these pants. They look like they fit well, and they don't look too snug at all, nor do they pull at all in the crotch. They are flattering and the cropped length looks quite good on you. I say they're keepers!

I understand the issue about the waist/crotch/ rise as another person with a long rise/high waist. I am glad they loosened in the right places and worked out. I think they look nice and as long as they feel comfy, would lean towards keeping them.
