I like the 1st, it seems more balanced. the wood structure seems to be your subject.

I like the first. The whole visible space looks deserted. In the second one, the field in the background looks like it is being worked and therefore isn't as desolate looking.

Perhaps the question should not be which do you prefer but what do you like or not like about each. They both have merit and tell a slightly different story. Every responder will have a different idea, but most important is - what do you want us to see? What story do you want to tell?

Since that was probably cover in the second half of the title ... why don't you answer the question?

Love both depends on what you are actually trying to portray, but second one is telling me a story.

I like the 2nd one best because it tells more of the story and the background makes your subject standout as a focal point.

The 2nd image because there is more going on within the frame basically.

I like the 2nd one, it give a sence of space and openness and also give off a bit of forgotteness in a ghost town kind of way would look better in black and white also

Put me down for number 2: the small building on the left leads you into the house. The sky is beautiful providing a great contrast to the weathered house. Either image looks "move in" ready to me.

As a fan of Robert Cappa, who's mantra was, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough", I prefer the bottom image, but cropped close to remove the small building and rendering the tree as the background. In other words, fill the frame with just the house.

perhaps the small window is to let light in the stairwell or was added later when a bathroom was added to the house. I agree with you about adding monocrome. I would say the entire first image would better in B&W.

I like them both and you should also because each are part of the same story of this old house. My suggestion would be for you to walk around the property, shoot it from other angles, and take close up pictures detailing the house and other buildings. Instead of winnowing your pictures from two to one, I'd urge you to increase them from two to many.

Hey Tommy, I like the second the best. Can’t tell you why, it’s just what feels right to me.
I don’t try to analyze my feelings.
