Something about these looks odd to me. The first one has sort of an HDR look to it (possibly from over-sharpening in post), but the tones seem flat. As well I feel like there is too much grain in these shots. I like the second shot, but the tones also seem a bit flat to me.
I agree with dan it looks crinkly from noise or over sharpening and maybe can use a bump in contrast.Sorry. Other then that the first shot works for me with the thread title.
I like the second one a lot. Well framed, and the reflection really makes it work, but there is something really odd about the back of the kid's head and the man's shoulder.
