Candid event shot -- which version do you like better?

Stumbled across a Labor Day 'end of the season' kind of thing in my old hometown on Labor Day and happened to be packing (well, my 60D at least ). One of the images that I liked, but thought was missing something is this:

Number 1 has correct WB

Bernie....problem is no one is facing you except the old gent in the white shorts and pink shirt hanging out!!
Antway, I prefer #1

i agree you are standing on the wrong side. ask yourself. would you hang this on your wall and why

Good editing but I'd like to see it somewhere between the two.

I understand that it doesn't follow the conventional rules for subject matter (I sometimes like these odd perspectives), and I'm not saying 'hey, isn't this the greatest image captured ever? EVER??'. The question was more about the edited version itself, but I do appreciate the CC

Thanks Woodworker -- I'd toyed with the idea of adding some grain to it and bumping up the contrast to push it more towards either a split tone or sepia tone, but for something just clicked when I got to where it is now and I liked it.
