I think the top one is stronger, compositionally--more going on. Perhaps the sky could use a little darkening down--seems blown out. Might be just my taste, but I'd like to see a little more green in those trees. They look unnaturally "grey". Maybe that's just how they looked though :dunno

Nice work!

I think the top one is the more interesting composition. Looks like it's at a slight tilt though? Like Ben said, the sky could use some color. Would be perfect if there were some ducks in the water. Is that the ducks on the grass back there?
