Could have been one BUT....
Glare in the lens and crop too tight (arch on top, light on bottom).
Wide angle distortion is too pronounced, kind of makes you sea sick after a while
Also...
The lower point of view is half 'hearted'.
Considering these four elements, #2, by default, more than choice.
#2 hides the window as well as the skylight. This makes the viewer wonder where the light at the bottom of the pillar comes from...
Light source is not confusing at all in 2 IMHO.

The second works better for me. The first one the highlights are a little to blown out. Which as you know distracting.
good to hear from you again. Hope all is well,

Definately #2. The top of the arch is not cut off.
2nd does it for me. Very nice

Interesting - I'm pretty much in favor of #2 as well, I was curious to see if anyone liked #1, and if so why. I have to admit I didn't even notice the damn lens flare until EW pointed it out. Thank you all for the comments. I just liked the combination of the geometric light and dark shapes, and the perspective. We've all seen millions of these kinds of shots, I don't think I did anything especially creative.
Here's another view of a different chunk of the portico or whatever it's called. There are actually two parts, with a zig-zag in the middle.
Bottom shot shows the whole wing.
Archway
for no other reason that immediate impact gut feel number 2
Number 2 as its more centered and your looking in, plus you have the top of the arch, more balanced with sides. I like architecture centered. Also the first photo you look to be aiming up and not in.

I like #1 best. I like the prespective of the roof, the way it gives a feeling of greater height.

I like #2 also. The lighting is more pleasing, plus there is a clearer view of what is outside at the other end.
