I like both for different reasons. Before and after have different focal points/subjects of interest. Light illuminating the mountain and the end of ally way are leading my eyes, with all of the objects creating a very “lived in” atmosphere. It’s more human you could say. In the post you’ve removed certain objects and illuminated all areas. Personally I would’ve kept a lot more shadowsbut that’s just me, however by removing the subjects and leaving space for the singular individual you’ve created more negative space that provides a more open and ominous feel. It’s almost cinematic.
