on the first one.. throw your font and that guy in front of that smoke layer. on the second one.. use should try and go with a different font.. and clean up the edges of the font a little more because it's hard to read the small font (same thing with the first one). the "santa clara" font, you should try and warp so it goes with the groove of the fence.
overall: they are both good.. i like the first one more (wicked photo angle).
