I prefer the second one, personally. I especially like the windmill on the right side.

I like the second one better. The first could have a little more road, losing some on the left (for the same focal length).

I like the second shot the best draws you into the picture.

I have a friend out there on the mesas now vacationing for four months camping with a van and I'd suggest if you want to see a mountain not to include the fences which all of a sudden change the perspective to make the fence posts look huge and the mountain small when what I would normally like to see is a hint of the big mountain and maybe something of the foreground but modest amounts. The pictures to me look way too much like fence photos instead of mountain photos and I think you really meant to get Hermit's Peak, NM instead of Fences miles from Hermit's Peak, NM. Great shots of the fence though! Perspective is a funny thing to handle for me anyway. I don't always get it right either.

I like how you used the fence to draw my focus to the mountain.

Your work is paying off. I, too, am working on composition.

Thank you all. The first really was kind of awkward. Not safe standing in the middle of the road. Question was, which side. Someday I will learn to take more than one or two photos of the same thing. A hangover from film days. Should I crop the second to put emphasis on the tree within a tree?

You have all the ingredients in the first shot ( good eye), like someone mentioned more road would make a good photo much better. I like it!
I think you nailed #2!
