The top one, definitely.
Apart from the softer atmosphere, it's a better value distribution. The darks are scattered around the canvas in a more balanced, interesting way. In the second version, the lights are all corralled into an oval "hole" smack in the middle. You fall in and your eye stays in that oval. The background might as well not be there.
The same is revealed when it's turned upside down and viewed in the abstract, subject matter aside.
(Nice job, Kim.)
