What do you want us to critique? See "Posting to the C&C Gallery". Aside from cropping out the red thing on the left I don't see a significant difference.

What are you specifically looking to improve?

This section is for those that really wish to improve.
Those that do wish to improve will put in the effort to read the requirements for the section and abide by those rules. Otherwise it's just a lazy CC welcome.
Please edit your post to include the basic information required.
I think the second picture is better because I don't understand what the red thing is and why it's there. It doesn't add anything to the picture.
