I don't know, both work but I always liked the shot/angle used in John Jympson's early cut of the film more:

 

I recommend the nice article American Cinematographer did on Gil Taylor years ago if you haven't seen it: http://www.theasc.com/magazine/feb06/taylor/page1.html

IMO, the Cinematography of Star Wars is much nicer than people often give it credit for, and it doesn't help that much when it cannot be seen in its true light any longer when his cinematography is completely destroyed in the video releases, especially in the horrible 2004/11 transfers.

RIP Gil Taylor, you made fantasy look real.
