I like the edited version becuase of the utility lines that you removed. I also think the colors could be toned down a bit somewhere between the two images. Nice work:-)
I like both images, although I agree with raven6k that the brightness of the orange overpowers the rest of the image. Perhaps fading it out a little might work.
I like the orginal better even though it is not visually stimulating as the rework. But it is more peaceful.. So I guess it depends the effect you wish to have on me, the viewer! Looks like an interesting place though.

I can't decide which looks better. The original has more colors but I think the edited version is more dramatic.
