I like the detail present in the right hand shot (Carina 2) But the stars are too crunchy, maybe try and soften the stars up a wee bit. The colour balance in Carina 2 is a bit off as well, more leaning into the blues, maybe try and adjust the balance so there isn't quite as much there. The contrast on both is extremely good, although Carina 2 is more contrasty. I can see more Neb in Carina 1 but if you stack more images or adjust the levels in Carina 2 I am guessing you could bring out more. Did you dark frame subtract? to me it doesn't look like it, maybe do a dark frame subtraction to remove those extra stars that are in both images, it will clean up a bit of the background noise too.
