It was suggested that it was "too square", although I have no clue how I did that. Any ideas?

I think you mentioned before that you use Gimp for editing..there should be an area in it to resize the photo, and cropping tools. The ratio for the width to height should be approx 3:2 or 4:3 to make it fit the standard if it's a landscape photo. That would mean for a 1024 pixel wide photo, to make it 4:3, take 1024 / 4 * 3 = 768 pixels wide.
For 3:2, do 1024x683

even if you crop this photo right, it's unlevel and overall uninteresting with power just sitting not moving and not attached to any cars.
