Which do you prefer and why? If you don't like either, please explain

Personally, I like #2. It has better definition between the sky and the mountains in the background and it seems more dramatic IMO. I think it's more than just the higher contrast sky involved, but I can't identify it. Maybe the fisheye perspective holds it back though. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Hi I also like #2 better. I especially like the effect in #2 where the clouds slightly parted is (looks likes) illuminating a section of the side of the mountain in the background. Very nice effect. I dont think you would notice it if the sky was made brighter and less contrastier.
