Both are great but the 2nd one I really like. Its the composition and landscape and the lovely green airglow. Some lovely shades of blue and some reds and browns. A great gamut of colours.
My conclusion on these nightscapes is the Milky Way is not in fact the subject of the image but rather the landscape and the MW forms a nice backdrop or secondary subject. I think that is one of the keys to composition of these shots. The best ones always have interesting landscapes and the MW simply enhances them and makes the image more interesting.
