Hey TB, welcome to ThePhotoForum.
So you went for a walk, took your photos, and are introducing yourself to us with these? How nice!
I am yet another to vote for Photo 2 ... composition is better than in Photo 1, but if that had been mine, I'd have cloned out the tiny twigs on the right.
I also like the bench and say "Kudos for exposing so right on the snow"!
