I don't like those pictures... they got nothing to says.
the first one has a low framing, low composition, low DOF and as if those were not enough, your pillar is tilted.
the second is even more poor than the first one as a composition.
they look just like you were boring waiting for the barrier to lift.
I am so harsh because I know you can better.... and I don't understand why did you posted them.
c'mon, let's see some of your real work !
