The crop is certainly my favourite of the two. There is an element of 3D coming out in that image which luminosity showing up well from the processing. You could enhance this a little more by upping the red channel a bit more, then stretching a bit more and then finally using medium contrast to give that punch for a more 3D effect. Doing this will also enhance the fine dust lanes crossing in from too.
Overall though I find the crop quite pleasing to view.
