i think compositionally it's stronger, as it encourages you to move around the picture a bit more. follow the jetty back, follow the shore across, back to the people. plus the closer crop allows you to see more detail of the people and shore, which is nice, and i really like the strange effect in the water right front - looks almost crystal clear or something.
this said, it's still a tough one to judge based on the really high key areas. especially online, and in my current case on a crappy monitor. due to the small details like the shore and even the people i feel like i'd want to see this larger. maybe print it out like 19" across and see how you feel about it? choice of paper would be crucial because all the really high key stuff will have some ink because there's color there, but there might not be much texture and you'd probably really notice the texture of the paper. framing will also be important because you'd have to think about the relationship between the edge of the highlight areas and the matte or frame itself - are they too close in color, etc.?
this is a tough one, and it's very different from how i'd personally handle an image so subjective processing techniques will really change how people feel about it. i'm also color blind so i can't comment on your colors 
would be interested to hear what some other people think...
