Now that I look at it, I should have completely gotten rid of that far post instead of trying to level it off. Maybe I'll fix it just for giggles.

Like everyone else I too agree that the the after composition is improved because the clouds appear dark and brooding. It sets the mood for the shot that the original does not. Really nice conversion from color to B&W. The tones and contrasts are excellent and visually pop - they are not flat and dull.

All my personal opinion, of course....overall, it's a vast improvement over the original.

I like the dark, brooding clouds, you've done a nice job on that.

I think the main thing I personally do would be to leave a little more of the beach. It feels a bit cramped at the bottom, and I think a little more beach wold open it up and make it a bit more desolate. The other thing would be to lighten up on the burning of the water and the beach. I want to see the scene, not the editing, and right now, I notice the burning of the water. Just my opinion, of course.

I enjoy the choice of crop and the drama that has been added to the sky with this edit. I also appreciate the application of the rule of 3rds. This edit DID enhance this image, IMO, and in a good way. Good choice of situations to use B&W as well :)
