The first one is beautiful.
The second one has potential to be more interesting then the first, but two things concern me:
1) the lamp post and and a distant building are competing for a spot in the composition
2) My eye is drawn to the sun and the nearby steeple, so that is the center of attention in the composition for me. If you are going to add another interesting elements (more buildings, lampost, etc.)they should not compete for attention. They should be shrouded in fog or something. I think they can add richness and interest if they are there, but in the second photo they are THERE too much. My brain is confused about where you want me to focus and the composition ends up failing for me.
