I am impressed with how expertly you handled the values in the first - very good detail maintained in the shadows, yet not a hint of blown-out whites in the brightest areas. That's a hard double to achieve.
Same goes for #2, and we get to see a bit more of the blue sky.
I see very effective clarity and sharpness in both images.
Well done.
Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!

Two great shots....love the one on the left, what a great leading line....leads the viewer right in! The second one is so colorful with a great sky. Must have been an enjoyable trip!
