I like the first one it's got a more relaxed peaceful glow to it but at the same time it's a skateboard an action sport and the 2 come together really well, I like it dude

..so what? What are you trying to say with these photos? Why should we care?

Rules are meant to be broken, but like thisandthat was kinda saying.. boring composition.

1st. give more depth! as everyone else said, reposition first of all

but it would be nice to have a bit more length and depth. maybe if you shot down the skateboard more that would be a nice transition from fore to back. keep the rule of thirds in your composition, if you ahve a rule of 1/3's option for your display, put it on.

maybe try using some post process as well.B+W lets the eyes focus only on the composition and action and might look good. a little levels touch up and possibly a slight vig would be nice.

2nd

not really a fan. i don't wanna go too much into it, except to say that I just think it's too busy. post some more and we can see if composition issues are a trend or just a one time thing for you. either way both shots show some prospects and potential. good stuff.

post more photos!

But yeah, kind of boring subject matter the way it was framed - experiment with placing the focus in different parts of the frame

Can't say much more because there's only two photos to evaluate.
