It just goes to show you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would have consigned the first one to oblivion. It's clear that you had the camera set to flash fill in a night shot. So you got a long exposure and froze the moment of the two overexposed subjects in the foreground. It doesn't do it for me. Alternatively, you could post it on a non-technical forum as proof of the existence of ghosts. A little creative text about the history of these long-departed ghosts would make it more impressive.
The bronze face shot is a nice shot. I'm not sure the vertical composition is working for you, however. It gives the impression of being tilted a little to the left.
