I know it is subjective, but for me the first shot is a tad too dark and thus too muted. Increasing exposure and contrast a bit works wonders on this picture (again, for me). In any case, the first shot is a lovely pastoral image. The second shot, particularly the orange part (sunlit background), is too ambiguous for my liking (i.e., looks more like a close-up shot of a carpet pile). I also find the second blue area (sky) too distracting compositionally. Concentrating on the agricultural tool, positioned as a main point of interest on a simpler blue-orange background, would result in a tighter, more elegant composition (again, for me). Reducing the orange-ness a bit might help too. In any case, worth experimenting with composition and white balance.
