My post here so hopefully the photo links will work.
I am looking for some feedback, which of the two do you like the best and any other feedback. Thank you

They may be the same capture, but the top one is darker. You can edit and change the image in the original post. Edit here works very well.

I prefer the darker version and like it a lot.

Both images are nice but the second image has a little more pop to the bridge and the tree on the right, maybe burn the water a little in the 2nd image and avoid burning the tree reflection in the water. I might consider bumping the vibrancy up a little.

I prefer the second one.

The tree in the upper left corner provides some hinting of leading line/framing. +1 @ Barbra, and maybe some crop off the bottom ... just above the LLC bush.

+1... Do you mind people doing rework, or do you prefer we keep hands off?? Jim

As I see the images, the tree and it's foliage and reflection is the nexus of each. The second looks initially more appealing because the color is brighter and more exciting in the nexus, compared to the first. Te bridge and it's reflection naturally leads from the darker and duller left side into the brighter and more colorful right hand nexus. I'd suggest gilding the lily by brightening and making the colors more vivid and saturated to make it snap and boost it;s interest appeal. I'd also suggest a tiny crop from the left to make it a hair less busy on the left and perhaps a slight CW rotation so the angle of the bridge and the reflection guide the eye at a more level angle into the visual nexus. Here's an illustration of my suggestion, using Lab mode changes to add snap, plus minor exposure bump, gamma reduction, major vibrance bump and a slight saturation reduction on the left to further direct the flow of the eye:
