The mood's completely different. The first shot made me want to follow the line and see what's at the far end. This one seems - mundane. Maybe if I were in a different mood, or I hadn't seen the other I'd feel differently about it, but for me, I like the first one better.

For me it's a brilliant photograph because of the openness on the left, the water just opens up the whole space so I feel what it's like standing on the boardwalk and the sea air. There's a sense of fog over the water. Second crop shuts all that down. I like that it's sharp all the way to the Murphy's sign and each board is visible on the walkway. Plus, there are no people around to distract, which brings a mood of early morning. Very nicely done black and white conversion.

I like the picture a lot, I would only like a bit more definition in the clouds, not a lot just a tad more I think it would make it a bit more dramatic. Outsie that I would leave it as it is, nicely done.

Interesting how different crop please different people.
I agree that the whole mood changes w/this crop, but for me, this new crop makes the image considerably stronger. I'd still burn the mid left edge by 5-10% here.
I think if the lights turn on this would also make a nice evening shot.
