The one on the right is better compositionally, you need to straighten the horizon a little.

thanks Jimbo. its the way i held the camera, I have to pay better attention to the horizon. the birds were runnin pretty quick along the waterline.
DB, the original i had to resize to upload it here, I hadn't cropped any from that pic. I gues to make that one better, shave some off the top on one side to try to make it a bit more square? I realized after when I was looking at the pics at home that I'ld shot at a higher iso than i should have. thanks for the comments.
OOPS, I just realised I edited your original post instead of mine last night, sorry.
If you had shot from a lower perspective, I think you could have got away with having a bit more foreground and a little less sky. It's the sky that's letting it down a bit.
Square might work, crop from the bottom to just below the sun's reflection and then crop from the top to make it square.
I think in general these kind of scenes work better using landscape instead of portrait.
