#1 I am put off by the buildings in the b/g being off vertical. Needs rotating CCW about 2-3 degrees.
otherwise well framed and executed.

#2 also doesn't look straight to me, but when I checked against the edge of the monitor, I couldn't spot the tilt. Not sure what is going on. Perhaps it is the slanting "horizon" throwing my eye out. Try the same correction as above though & see if it looks better. Also, not sure what your subject is. If it is the goats, they get lost in the b/g. If the b/g, exposure needs to be brought back somewhat & increase saturation.

Some awe inspring photos. I particually like the second shot. I think the buildings in the background are fantastic and add a whole new element to the picture. Even though the goats are hard to spot tucked away in the top left corner once spotted the beauty in the view of the city is highlighted. Well spotted

You have given me some good ideas for improvement - many thanks :D . I agree that I need to spend time in post processing.

It's truly an amazing feeling to experience a nice scene like this. It really makes me ponder the animal kingdom compared to our advanced civilisation.
