Landscape b&w

Can someone critique my photos please? Trying my hand at landscape and street photography. The first photo I shot was while driving in a car. The second is a trolly in San Francisco.

Cable car
cropped a little too tight for me.
back person whole foot should be in the picture
looks like your shutter speed was a little too low

trees could stand some clouds

The crop (framing) is bad. the whole cable car, and (as above) the foot of the guy should all be in the frame. I would also maybe have tried to shoot from further left, and gotten the faces, instead of the backs of the heads. I have a feeling the facial expression of the cable car guy pulling on that thing (brake?) may have made the shot.

Really does nothing for me. It's a tree. The tree in the background I find to be distracting, as the branches from the main tree 'connect' to it. You should have moved that back tree! Kudos for shooting from a moving car, but if you liked it enough risk you life to photograph it, you should have stopped the car, and really picked the best angle to shoot from to really show off what you liked about it.

Thank you for your input! I'm new to photography so this is all very helpful.
