OGL, your photos nice and sharp... exposure is good too, in my opinion.
Main issue with both: not enough breathing space around the buildings... shooting at widest with kit lens? Time to BBB a UWA :devil:
Also, (and there's some debate about this) I feel that the horizon is not level in #1. Am using the MBS towers and their reflection as a guideline. To me, I feel that the opposite shoreline gives a 'false horizon', so when you make that level, you actually end up with a tilted photo.
See DD123's explanation from our T.Rhu outing some time back [

Hope that helps.
#2 also has levelling issues I feel.
