Both are fine. If you decide to go with the first, darken the roof a bit, so that it does not lead the eye out of the image too soon.

As Slobodan says, you need the roof – it helps to "frame" (ooo I hate that concept) complete the image but tone it down. Consider also some slight perspective distortion correction; I get the feeling I'm looking down into this space. Consider also trimming a bit off the bottom to allow the aspect ratio to better reflect the long narrow wall of the garage.

Both excellent comments. I prefer the second one, but if you keep the first darkening the top would be good.

Crop 04 works best for me.
