SKYLINE or skyline

Here are 2 shots of the Chicago skyline reflecting off "the Bean". The Bean( real name is Skygate, but hardly anyone calls it that) is a sculpture in Chicago's Grant Park. I was wondering which crop most people would prefer, a lot of sky or less sky? Any specific comments for improvement are always appreciated. Thanks!

Hello. i actually prefer the first one because it makes the sky with the fisheye glass feel like it is actually right over the head of the people walking around. gives it nice 3d depth for me. just my opinion

eta: i actually looking at it think i like a slightly different crop. somewhere in between the two? what you think? a little more sky than your second and a tiny bit of fill flash and i think it kinda gives a better perspective maybe? also get rid of that little bit of building sticking out in the top right of sky on your first. don't know...just an idea
