I feel that the vertical shot is too tight, this one is more balanced. In the vertical shot the person is merged with the reflection, this one has better seperation between the two. I am guessing that when you press the shutter, you are looking/thinking/wanting to shoot the devotee, not the shrine. Plus, you title the pictures "Meditation", so the shot is about the devotee. It's not about the cloud/sky or the "golden" shrine; they are more of a distract than helping the shot. The golden color draws my eyes to the shrine. I don't know if that is the intention here.
