These are from Disneyland Jungle Tree playhouse. As I waited for the kids I took a few pictures of what I thought was a nice scene at the time. When i processed these started thinking that they might be just a bit to busy.
What say you. Both are 5 exposures.

I think you're right. There are a lot of attractive elements in these two images; no central point for the eye to be drawn in.
 
Both are WAYY too busy with very little for the eye to rest on. Also, with this processing, the images are actually fairly flat (in the sense of lacking depth and pop) because there isn't an adequate black point. Everything's just a shade of gray. You've lost a lot of tonality and depth with the processing. But the subject matter isn't great either. I'd just move on from this shot, personally.
