The dark one - To my eyes this is over processed. So much so that my eyes have to search to find the house. But once I do, and once I put together the other parts of the scene I like it very much. I just would have went in another direction with the processing.
The lighter one - Just not.. enough. Not enough definition, not enough contrast, not enough detail.. basically what you would expect of a scene in a snow storm. A good reality based image, but imo not anything I'd want to hang on the wall.
