Photo #1 isn't that special. Great exposure, but eh ... I've seen shots like that a lot.
Photo #2 is spectacular! I agree with VJS, take out the "snowflakes" and you've got a great shot! Love the color, composition and over all image! Great stuff!
The first one might be more interesting in B&W. I don't know, I don't find it all that appealing, too much dark to the left and right.
Love the second one. It would be nice if the road took more of a bend to the right out of the frame, but there's not much you can do about that. The only improvement I can think of is maybe an HDR using the RAW (if you were shooting in raw) to keep the sky from blowing out. Beyond that, I like it a lot.
I'd like to echo the comments of the previous posters; both are nice, #2 the better of the two.
The only thing I'd like to add is that there seems to be a rather orange cast on things that I wouldn't expect to be orange, like the pavement surface and the tree bark. Is this an artifact of post processing, or is this likely light reflected off the foliage?
I agree with the above posters about number two. It is a very beautiful shot. It maybe just a little overexposed and could possibly use a little more contrast, but it is a really good capture.
