I don't disagree with the overspiced evaluation but the other doesn't even have 
salt and pepper.  Definitely more on the foreground but not so much as the 
before image, which does seem to have an artefact at the junction of land and 
sky.  The sky is possibly better in the new version (in that it is more 
realistic - I don't know, as I was not there) but that is arguably a matter of 
taste.
