I dont know.. nothing really caught my attention.

Not on the second one?

For #1, lose the shallow DOF. Have the entire scenen in focus. The central composition of the lines also weakens the photo.

Shallow DOF is way over used, and when it's use make sense, it's not often used effectively.

#2 has insufficient contrast.

Crap, I posted the wrong one for the second one. My bad, im gonna change it.

There she is. Posted it in the original.

I didn't see the original of #2, but the one that's there now looks a little flat to me. It's also too symmetric to be really interesting, while the slight tilt at the top is annoying.

I agree with KMH on the shallow DOF, try shooting that same brick from straight above and not so many bricks.

The roof is decent, would have liked to see more contrast or an hdr type shot done on it to bring out the rust and ruggedness of it.
