I like how the rocks frame the clouds. The horizon looks like it was etched in, perhaps a little unrealistic? Depends on taste I guess.
Nice milky foreground.

Reminds me a bit of very old Star Trek foreign planet setups ...

I prefer the second one. The sense of movement in the clouds contrasts nicely with the stationary rocks.

I agree. In the second, the clouds serve a purpose. In the first, they're just there, and I think the image would be better without them.

I also prefer the second image and for the same reasons.

#2 no doubts for me. The composition of the elements is much more dynamic.
