I like 'em. The color in the first one is quite nice with the contrasting of warm and cold tones.
The second one is a bit dark. I think I know what you're aiming for, but it would have been nice if the foreground mountain-things were a little brighter, without taking away from the cool sky. I like the martian feeling of it, though.

Agreed.

I prefer the 1st shot, decent composition.
