That's almost exactly how I cropped it the first time, but didn't want to split the horizon at the 50/50 mark. Maybe that would be fine, though.

Just print it really large and then you'll be able to see it well enough...

Like 30x40 or larger!

The original is great. Any crop takes away from the photo.

I personally think if you could pull out a little detail on the figure, it would be a little stronger but its an awesome shot.

I like the crop on #2 a LOT better. There's just so much space not needed in the first. Nice exposure on it, also.
