I prefer the first one, for the cleaner composition.

...and powerful colour contrast and composition.

Another vote for the first one for the solitude it shows. The second one has too many distracting elements - parking lot, cars, boat, etc.

Nice.  I'd go down half a stop or so on the exposure and see how that looks.  The colours are a bit pale at the moment (for me anyway).

Both images are really nice but the first one is outstanding.

#2 - better sky, more interesting composition, room to breath, more consistent darks, more controlled highlights.

Agreed with #1. #2 has a pretty boring top half, I would say.
