In the second version, you exposed more for the wall and surrounding darker areas, thus blowing out the light of the lamp a bit and overexposing the wall right next to the lamp a shade (but having better exposure as to the molding and parts of the wall farther away from the lamp).
It's a tough situation to get the exposure just right, you have the very bright lamp next to the dark shading of the doorway and wall details.There are post-processing tricks you can do to preserve the detail in both the lamp and the door especially if you shoot in RAW.
I liked the composition of the second a bit more, because the angle seemed to show me more detail in the sconce and lamp. But it wasn't a slam dunk for me, both versions hold interest.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your thought and insight!
You worded out the same points that I liked about the first picture, which, for some reason, I couldn't articulate properly at the time of posting. Haha! Thank you once again! I'll keep that in mind.
