I spent way too much time looking at both these images, but for some reason, I really wanted to offer a reason to my opinion.
The shadow, the corridor not centred, too much top dead space, the dipping horizon and the framed art all bothered me. You are photographing a very symmetrical situation, and the irregularities I mentioned throw what could be a good image, reducing it to a "pick the faults in this image" mentality.
For what it is worth (and if this is what I had to work with), I would choose #2. Without knowing what you are choosing the image for, I would consider re-shooting it. There's too many flaws in it for my liking. Like I said...i spent way too much time looking at this!
Put the finished shot in a rustic frame/border. I think it would add to the image.
