For me the first image has some visual distractions that a crop would benefit. My eye keeps flicking down to the two little sticks or whatever they are in the foreground between the rocks. When I sort of mask those away the result is a more pleasing image. But I'm almost in favor of something more square for that image. At least I'd play with an alternate cropping to see what might happen. Thanks for posting - these were wonderful to see.
