Hi Bill, I love the first one,for me it brings to mind the line from the move Taxi Driver "you talking' to me?"  :)

In the first I think there might be a crop on the right hand side that would be beneficial? Take out the out of focus tree and the tree to the right. Otherwise a very likeable image. The second one I find amusing and I haven't any suggestions with regards to improvements because no improvement is needed. A finely processed image.

I prefer the first one, there's some interaction between the photographer and the cow. I agree with Stamper vs the out of focus tree on the right.
The second one is also nice and it reminds me of the poya paintings (http://www.lebendigetraditionen.ch/traditionen/00047/index.html?lang=en) found on some swiss farmhouses.

PS: on the linked page, look for the second and following images.
