When the potential for informative text is considered, then I would say:
1- Star Trail from Southern Pole to Northern Pole : This is a unique view of rotating Earth, and as seen from the Equator no less. I have seen star trail pictures from near Equator even in panorama format, but not all-sky.
2- Evening Storm in Beynam : Has potential of writing about the weather and especially lightning on Earth and other planets. Venus (visible in the picture) might have them, Jupiter and Saturn definitely do.

So I have trouble voting, even when given two votes. One thing that I often base my vote on is
Which image, if picked for an APOD, would likely generate text that would teach me the most? That's a hard question for me to answer for this particular poll.
