I like the first one, but for the fact that the foreground seems out of place. I would like to see a bit more tonal and color unity in the image overall, even if that means bringing a toning down some of the detail in the extreme shadows, and dialing back the color saturation overall. I've been to that spot and know how red it can be, but at this time of night, you can't see the foreground at all. I find the strong warm tones in the now visible foreground to clash somewhat unnaturally with the extreme blues in the sky, making the whole presentation feel a bit overprocessed. A little less color saturation overall, and allowing some shadow detail to get lost in the dark, would make the image stronger.
I dislike nightscapes with moving stars, and the second image for me is no exception. That said, I like the foreground processing in that image, probably because the tones are less warm.
