Here's a re-crop. I tried to replicate the original look as much as I could using what tools I have at my disposal (GIMP and Picasa), though I got the shadows a bit darker in this one. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/6805434841/
I think you took too much off the top. I much preferred the composition with the feather closer to the left edge. On the left, I'd leave just a little space past the knuckle. On the top you could crop it square, you could crop it just below the lights at the top (which didn't bother me, and they kind of frame the picture), and/or you could burn in the lights a the top a bit, so make them a little darker so they don't stand out quite so much.
Or you can just go with what looks good to you because no matter what you do, some people will like it more, others less.
