I like the closer to a square crop better than the original. It makes the viewer focus more on the bird's silhouette. Love the golden glow of the beach and the waves but they engulfed the main subject in the original. In the After image those two elements act more complementary to the main subject now. In the original I found that the cresting wave at the top third of the picture was too distracting - the golden gleam at the crest of the wave and the deep shadow at the bottom acted like a dividing line drawing far too much attention away from the dividing line of the water and the beach and thus attention away from the main subject that stands just below it. In the after image you removed that 'double' dividing line. Now there is just one division between land and sea.

I like the warmed gold of the tones and am appreciative of the newly silhouetted bird and his shadow.
