While I like both prints. This one does it for me as it's more balanced. The other one needs to be burnt in on the top left corner to hold the viewer into the middle of the frame where you composition is most strong, and what I believe was the intent of the photograph. If you had done that, then the other would be the best.
I don't see any reason to prefer one of these over the other. They're both very nice variations on the same subject, and each has its strengths. Nice work.
This is the more interesting image. The other one doesn't have enough content to hold my attention for more than 5 seconds. This one has more going on and therefore holds my attention much longer.
