No, I still like the first one better. I can clearly tell that the boat is the subject of the picture. The only cropping I'd do is to get rid of the bit of branches on the right. I feel that the second picture shows too much foreground and it distracts me from the boat. I guess you could say that all that ground and not enough sky makes me feel claustrophobic.
Also I can't tell if the focus is dead on or not, but at the smaller size I see it at I feel OK about it. Anyhow, thanks for sharing and well done.
