could have used a faster lens for these, the backgrounds are a bit distracting. consider a blur in post processing. the shadows fall nicely on 1 and give it alot of depth. the flower or w/e in front of 2 is very distracting and does not work that well as a foreground (maybe because it is not a natural setting and you could have easily moved the flower...sort of like when someone is standing in front of the TV)
PS post your exif with your pics it helps with critiquing them.
