I'm unsure of number 1. I don't think such a shallow DOF does much for the shot, it isn't particularly interesting to me. Number 2 seems a little out of focus and is very soft.
I agree with Kevin. The first image needs more DOF (and I am not too sure on the composition - can't put my finger on just what to change). The second image is too soft. This may be caused by camera motion is this was a hand held shot (1/9 of a second shutter speed is going to induce camera motion on hand held shots).
