The peeps are just chance, but maybe a good thing ... or not.

Acoarst all other issues within either version are fair game.

How could we describe #1 - quasi-surreal? The people don't help with the blurring of the boundary between real and surreal.

Depends on what you are trying to say.

edit - I made a pissy comment snarking on your grammar because I am part of the Grammar Polizei. Honestly, I'm not sure what the point is. The photo sans peeps doesn't make much sense to me. The one with peeps, well, the peeps is outta focus and the hilites is blowed. What more can I say. I just don't get it. Like dat2ra says, what are you trying to say?

Neither version is intended for a viewer who seeks an answer to that. It has no message. At most, all Im "trying to say" is just that "This is what was there and this is how it looked". Its a photograph, nothing more. Thaz the complete story.

I looked at both photos for quite a while. The one with no peeps has no, in my opinion, subject or point of interest that makes me want to keep looking at the photo...say for a point of interest, story, connection to you. The second, the people are simply walking by. I see that they are the subject, but not interesting ones. They are not talking, smiling at each other or you. There is no connection to anything so far as I can tell. As you say, you are not trying to say anything, but are just showing what you saw that day. That may be so, but I do not see these two photos as keepers. Meager opinion of this (admittedly) amateur photographer.
