The first one is a bit busier because there are more elements visible; the clothes the decor etc.
the second one seems to work better as a composition and would work as a page for a magazine.
Of course aesthetics change for situations and clients. I shoot for many magazines and myWork seems glossy at times and gritty at others. Especially if I’m shooting for vice, it’s completely different to fashion.
I see what you're saying. The second is a lot more reserved, and I want to try limit more elements in that fashion to create more of an impact when viewing. I appreciate the observation.
