Woodlands photography is incredibly challenging! The forests are full of chaos and it can be difficult to find a composition that makes order and simplifies, especially since there is always some bush or branch in the way. I think #1 works quite well, you made a pleasing comp to my eyes.
Edit: I do like your 2nd shot also, wonderful yellows (I might suggest cropping up from the bottom just a bit to eliminate that fallen birdhouse or whatever it is on bottom right).

Thank you Ross. I appreciate your comments and suggestion. It seems too late to edit the photo.

Forests are extremely difficult to photograph. As mentioned above, too much chaos, too many things growing this way and that and difficult light: dynamic range far beyond the range of most cameras to capture. I always bracket and even bracketing 9 stops if often not enough.
