as was said, the first is fairly typical, nothing amazing in it for me.
The second is really great, but sorry to ruin it, the red socks damage the pic for me. They a just so distracting and draw all the attention away from where it should be (the eye) apart from that its an awesome picture, doesn't need cropping or twisting at all imho.
Just so you know, our vision has been designed by evolution to make red fruit stand out against a background of green leafs and the like, so red really stands out for us (visual popout). Thats what makes these socks so distracting.
