First runs with Lightroom, comments welcome

Okay so I've started to play around with lightroom and it seriously makes my workflow go by so much faster! This is PS condensed to purely photo editing. I like almost everything about it!!

very nice, i like the color temp :)

Interesting subject and scene.

I have a different take on the White Balance - instead of it looking like it has the right color temp, I would say that the colors are very subdued - i.e., very low saturation.

That may be what Pizdous meant - I don't know.

The 2nd shot has much more depth (3-dimensionality). In the first shot, there is just too much foreground. Could be converted to landscape orientation and be even more effective.
