In the first image I believe you've pushed the colors a little too far. Also the trees are a little on the soft side. I would crop the bottom off to just above your logo. Silhouettes are overrated. It takes a subject with great form and interest to pull them off.

In the second image you've done a good job keeping things in a straight line. Nice balance. I would crop to just below the grain bins. This would eliminate the tire tracks that take away from the aesthetic potential.

The colours look quite amazing but a little too much silhouette in the sunrise. The second looks like a little more could be extracted in terms of pp work and is my favourite of the two.

I like the colors. However I think the picture would benefit from a crop. The light on the right distracts somewhat.

The first image is way over saturated IMO.
The second one looks fine to me.
