I like II much better, mainly because the Trees look more realistic.
On the other hand this nice tree is much to characteristic to look completely realistic when used more than one time.
Maybe you can turn some of the foreground trees around so that these folds dont show, or hide them with bushes.
Like it is, it looks like someone cast a magical spell that disformed the trees outwards from the path, leaving them with identical folds.
Still, I like the impression and the way the sky looks through th foliage.
