Which version of the photo is better and why?

What is your overall impression on the photos? Are they well composed and looking good?

IMHO I like 1# as the 2# horizon is too close to the middle of the picture...

Nice colours!!

I would say neither ....

too much sky, not enough foreground.

BUT, the subject matter is very uninteresting, so not sure if that would help or not.

#1 but I' think I'd have the tent poles poke up through the horizon. I instinctively want to ducjk my head to get that perspective.

Neither, I agree about more foreground being more interesting, but I would prefer raising the camera a bit to keep the umbrellas under the horizon and completely against the darker water - more contrast that way.
