#1, your horizon is off.

I'm not sure if your horizon is a little crooked in #1 or not - looking at the verticals of the building they seem straight but it's difficult to tell as they're small.

But shooting snowy scenes tends to confuse the camera as it tries to adjust for the mid-tones which can make the snow underexposed so it looks a bit grey and murky. Setting exposure compensation, possibly around +1 ev might help with that.

And I think I'd like #2 more without the messy footprints leading to the person. Just a VERY quick edit, but more like this:
