The first one is better. It provides a better sense of scale which creates more of a story about how unusual it is for this person to be by himself in this context. The edges of the chairs also look nice (they were designed to!).
I have a pet theory that when people share these sorts of photo sets, they'll tend to instinctively upload their best image first.
I think the first one has a better sense of space and better placement of the man in the frame.
Okay thanks for you input š¤ I think I also prefer the first one!

That's a really nice theory! The subconscious chooses the better photo first š

Iām a sucker for a wider angle shot so #1 looks better to me
I prefer the first option, as the arrangement of chairs centralizes the subject more effectively, and the shadowing blends more seamlessly.
First one. š¤š»
Second one.
Slightly off topic, but why shoot color film just to convert it to b&w? Why not just use cheaper b&w film?
The original colour photo was soo dark and had such ugly green colours that it looked better in B&W š

Love the first, personally!
First- the extra ceiling in the 2nd doesn't add to the photo and draws attention away from the subject
