Here are 2 others that I took today as well. I think the chapel could be cropped at the top, it also lost a lot of its clarity and color saturation. I'm going to try and resize to keep more quality, I'll post back. I'll take any other suggestions you guys have as well.

Agree with cololeo - the church is tilting to the left.
Also, the original #2 scene looked better to me than the second rendition of it.

The real problem here is with #1. The lighting and color balance are fine, but the background is too busy and too out of focus. I would reign that in by zooming in closer, giving more of the primary flower and less of the surrounding stuff which contributes very little.

Oh yes, and don't make the mistake of cropping out that one element in Red - you must keep that in the composition.

Even more from the top;) Square crop would work.
