I agree with Don about the building competing with the rest. Partly, this is due to the sky and building being the brightest part of the scene. Also the details of the trees make the overall result a bit busy.
#1 is richly textured and toned, and feels more like a specific moment in time. For me, the result showcases the two men in a subtle, but very effective way.
Thank You Linda, actually I agree with Don as well. I didn't communicate what I intended in #2. I do have a rework in mind, which is how I originally intended to do it, and I appreciate your commenting as well as Don. Thanks Again !!
