I cropped some of the sky on the top one using the scroll wheel, looks more like a pano.

Particularly in the first shot, your foreground is very dark and flat. I agree with the other suggestion of cropping some of the sky off the top - although you've done well to not place the horizon in the middle of the frame, I would have placed it in the top of the frame, not the bottom, to show more foreground and less sky.

Thx for the pointers. I appreciate it!
