Critique Wanted This or that? The definite thread for cropping photo critique!

Doing my part to focus on photographs (and not gear). For now anyway!

Which photo do y'all think is more compelling?

Bluebonnet Season Crop by Armanius, on Flickr

I'm having a hard time deciding which one I like better. I decided to do a crop after pixel peeping the image above at 100%, which did not fit the 27" screen. So when I got to the tree area, it seemed to make a compelling photo in itself. What do y'all think?

I like both, but the second appeals more. I also think theres a second crop there, which would include the building on the right, and exclude the tree entirely. It would, of necessity end up being a small crop but I think it would work well.
