I like it. I think the foreground adds to the photo, I think you framed
it
nicely. I also like the look of the stairs and all the angles. Nice work.

There is a lttle loss in detail in the white cliff but it's not too bad.
I
like it better with most of the foreground cropped out leaving the white
cliff in the lower right corner.
The second photo I like as is.

It does have a little bit of a spooky feel to it. That would be an
excellent spot to try painting with light. If you could go back at night
and
light up the gravestones it would look great. Some examples here :
