Big Sur Highway 1 Bridge and Coast, California, U.S.A.

Is this version a better crop than the oldone shown below?

It's definitely a better crop. I might even think about getting more aggressive and crop out the gray sky entirely. One the dull sky detracts, Two, the story here is the bridge the coast line and the water, not the sky, and Three, high horizons tend to give a little different view of the world ( because not enough people use them) so it gives a fresh perspective.

Wow, I very much like the cropped one better. Great perspective and saturation despite the haze. Very nice.

Agree that this composition is much better. Very well done and I really like the saturated colors.

Hmm.. I like the increase green hue... easier to my eyes. Bridge looks cold... I like the original color on the bridge better. May be you can cut-and-paste the bridge and adjust the color only half the way?

I like the croppped version better, however I don't care a lot for the green hue in the cropped version. If it was me, I would try adjusting brightness or contrast or something on the sky in the top left, just to see what else I could come up with.

 

Really nice picture though

the cropped version is much better

But the image to me lacks something I call snap. Sets it apart from other of its type. you are close here.... but not quite there. With respect.
