I'm looking for some input on these two shots. I struggle to with composition and finding interesting shots.

This first one was taken at a really cool, old cemetery, but this is the only interesting shot I came away with. I intentionally allowed the background in focus because I liked it better being able to read the headstones in the background. Bad choice?

This second one isn't the most original, I know, but I was driving through a local metro park and thought the view was worthy of a snap. I didn't notice the couple distracting leaves in the upper right until I got home and viewed it on my monitor. Really disappointed with that. Other than that, what are your thoughts on this one?

Awesome work...I think you made the right choice on image one...Image two I would go back at night and wait for a car to pass by and get the red streaks; but then again I don't see any street lamps so I would go during sunset.
 
C&C per req:

1. Nicely done mono conversion, but it could be just a touch brighter I think. I agree, keeping the whole image in focus works in tis case, but the tree along the RH side bothers me somewhat; it's a rather heavy, dark border and I think could stand to be cropped.

2. Technically a fine image, and you've got a perfect compositional element in there, but what you're lacking is a main subject. What would make this image perfect is something for the eye to see as it tavels down the road.

Just my $00.02 worth - your milage may vary.

dang, i really like em both.
for number one
try more of a lower angle lookin up

#2 is great, but like John said, its missing the main sucject. Try what cvnang said. i think it would look really good.
 
Thanks for the input. I tried capturing #2 with a car, but I couldn't get it right because it was windy and the long shutter blurred all the leaves. I'm going to try going back and getting that again. I like the idea of doing it at dusk. I think I'll try that.

Would love some more feedback.
 
the both look great to me! Good job!
