I looked at the first shot and said " Very Nice" than I thought maybe, I'd like to see one with the sun a wee bit down and voila the 2nd pic came into view.
These are beautiful. I do like the 2nd more than the 1st (the sun is a bit too bright and too distracting in the 1st image -- but much nicer in the 2nd image.) Also, I noticed the dynamic range is better in image #2. Notice that due to the stronger light in image #1 the side of the house is bright and the front face is darker. In #2 the lighting is not so strongly contrasted so the front of the house shows more detail.
