C&C on a couple pictures

[HorseLuvR]

Wanna hear your opinion on a couple shots. Suggestions are appreciated! I really would just love to improve my photography!

1.

2.

The first one I didn't like until I looked at it a few times... I got a strong impression from it. I dunno.... It's just what I thought

Nothing is really in focus in the first one. Also the subject is centered. The main subject in the second one is also in the center. Re-shoot or crop these keeping in mind the rule of thirds and they will look much better.

#1 looks oof to me as well...

I lie #2 better but I think a re-crop might be an idea...

Number 1 is oof and try and crop number 2 to the right to keep it from the center
