Firstly, keep on shooting. Shooting, shooting, shooting ... then when you think you're finished ... shoot some more. Shooting everyday is one of the best way to improve your photographic skill and image quality.
I find the second image more interesting than the first, even though the first has many elements which could/would be considered interesting if captured correctly.
A famous photo journalist once stated that if the photo is boring then you're not close enough ... so on your next walk ... remember this. Good luck.
