Which of these do you think is more effective?

Thanks, Dan
The second one.
I like the framing on the first one, but you're stuck with that darn
telephone pole. If you had a way to get rid of the pole, the first would
be a better photo.
In the past when I really needed to remove "modern" intrusions like that
pole, I've taken two photos about five feet apart staying the same
distance to the subject & combined the two so that I use the parts each
that doesn't have the pole.
I wouldn't use such a photo for a news story, but if it's just making
nice images ...
