I like them both Catherine.
I find the first one to be a bit more effective, simply because of the texture in the sky.
I find that the second one cropped a bit too tightly, both at the top and on the right hand side. I assume the tight crop on the right hand side is to exclude the silo we see in the first image?
I agree with Manfred on the tight crop in no.2, but still prefer it to no. 1 because of the color contrast and pattern in the roofing. Too bad the silo interferes . . .
Thanks for sharing.

Nice work, Catherine. I like the balance in the first image. I'm not bothered by the crop in the 2nd, but I think you could remove the white object at the bottom by cloning in a section of the other window over it.
Nice set, I like the second for its color, patterns, and the animated look of the top structure.
