I like the first more.
It isolates and accentuates the cactus.
The second accentuates they sky.

Next time when faced with this kind of scene it might be best to compose it with the main subject in the bottom left third of the frame to have the leading lines in the clouds direct the eye to the subject and allow plenty of sky color to give it some pop.

Center works for me....

I’m liking #2 (mainly, because right or wrong, it’s how I would likely compose the shot).

I like the second one because the cactus is off-center and the sky is very nice and I like seeing more of it. It also gives me a better sense of the area in which the photo was made.

Thanks for sharing, I sometimes struggle with composition and cropping.

I see many comments regarding too much sky, but the sky in the desert southwest plays an important part of the scene, IMHO. On the other hand I tried to crop closer to get the cactus more prominent with the hint of the barbed wire fence close by. Barbed wire also plays an important part in the SW.

You’re probably right. I get bogged down in too much analysis sometimes.
