It's better with the new leg positioning, but you could push it even more.
Keep in mind that Krut's edits, while adressing contrast, some anatomy issues and some composition ones, do tend to be an interpretation in his style, moving completely away from your initial one. Although i don't think his pose helps much, i'd recommend showing weight by balancing his body back to counterbalance the huge (aparent) weight on the front (and the back leg would also move back more, bending at the knee, the gyus torso leaning back some). Other than that, take a look at how Krut's edit works on the color contrast department (specifically on the top part): bold contrast, hue and saturation jumps. Also, clearly defined areas and shapes (with the help of those contrasting colors).
