I've looked at the first one, but now having seen this one, won't comment on #1. I'd only be echoing other's comments.
I do like this one a lot more. Seeing the road behind it puts it into context as being a "roadside chapel" in the truest sense of the words. Also, the trees help us to see how small it is; we didn't get that sense in the first one.
I like the shrine off-centre a bit, too. I think this photo tells us much more about this building than the first, and for that it's a much better record, and a much better photograph.
cheers, frank

Thanks. I think it's a really interesting little building. It is pretty much
in the middle of nowhere. Just place to pull off the road. Unfortunately, the
picture is not so interesting. The crop is tight because 1) I lost a little
when I straightened the picture and 2) the surroundings seemed to make the
picture even less interesting. Here's another perspective I tried. The only
edit I've done is to level it. (Again, I don't want the salt-water to run out
and ruin all your monitors.)

So between the two pictures maybe someone can give some suggestions on how to
approach this subject, including, I guess, pass it by.
OT: Every time I drive by this little shrine, I wonder, "What's in there?" So,
I did step inside the door. There were no lights and the sun was getting low on
the horizon. Fortunately, I had the little pop-up flash on my *ist-D. If you
are curious, here it is:(this is not a PAW, just documentation of the inside--no
need to critique)

It just sits there, unguarded and open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Hi Kevin ...
This one doesn't do much for me. The shrine is too close to (and even clipped
by) the edge of the frame. A little more space would help the photo quite a
bit. Looks a little flat on my monitor, too.
