Which of these two is better in your opinion? They were taken on slightly different angles as you can see. Please comment.

Tough decision. I like them both, but find the second has more drama ...at least for me, and that makes it the winner.

Second takes the person a bit off of dead center left to right. That makes a more interesting composition.

Number 2 by a hair because the man's arms are extended suggesting more activity.

It's a subtle difference, but in the second one, the workers silhouette looks better with his arm extended, and there is more symmetry in the little rectangles created by the crossing cables. Nice shots.

An image with a strong, interesting composition. I prefer the first due to the long diagonal leading from the top right down to the man. That diagonal, in my opinion, is enough to negate any downside of having the man towards the middle. Nice photo. 8-)

The criss-cross wires form a more dynamic composition in the second version. I also like the touch of color in the sky.

1 for tone...2 for composition
Okay, think I'll go with the composition, thanks very much.

Thanks for your input too, Timarron, most are preferring #2.

Thanks for commenting, Bmac. I also prefer asymmetry.
