Sorry, but overall I do prefer the original.
The new version seems quite over-saturated, especially the vegetation, 
the bricks and the wheel.
While the new camera view is nice it has the unfortunate side effect 
that two birds of the flock are very close to the top border and this 
hurts the composition.

And a general note to everybody who's posting images to theses 
newsgroups: please make sure your JPEG image contains a ICC profile. 
Since about 2 months Firefox and Thunderbird have full color management 
enabled by default. Chrome and Opera do the same since quite a while, 
only IE and Edge don't - but who uses them anyway?
Every contemporary mid-range monitor has a wider color gamut than sRGB, 
the one I use even wider than Adobe RGB - and I can assure you, the 
difference is NOT subtle.
When I want to make sure to view an image as intended I have to do a few 
additional steps and as I'm lazy I usually don't care. As color 
management only kicks in for images with ICC profiles I have to save the 
image to my local disk and check *if* it contains a profile and if not 
use my own image viewer that correctly assumes for images without 
profile to be in sRGB and transforms them correctly to my viewing device 
profile.
