The second one works very nicely for me.
In the first I feel I'm seeing too much of the road.

Ditto. My eyes moved around the first image without truly finding a subject, not so in the second photo. That tree is magnificent.

For me both compositions work.
Neither image depicts an unspoilt environment but rather a rural environment with plenty of human endeavour on show.
To me the road (as with the ditch in #2) is an intimate and valid part of the composition.
I do agree that the second image is the better one.

I really like the second image

I think that first image is really a nice one. The shape of the foliage etc. in the middle ground flanked by the road and the fence...very interesting...especially the line of the soft spikiness of the tree/shrubs receding. I would maybe want to see the dark shadows pulled up a bit on it though. I think the first while it has a "balance of elements" - is it as interesting as the first?, not really.

I like both shots almost equally but have a slight preference for the first one. I cannot really find the right words but #1 has less agitation...
