Given the position of the sun in #2, and brightness as per the other shot which is no more than an hour prior, I would think the wall on the right would be a smidgeon brighter than you are artisitcally portraying. As it sits, there is a nice "ghostly" feel to it; yet...

On a more technical note, while I realize you are using a very wide angle lens (guessing a 12-24 at about 16), I feel like the distortion works against you in image 1 and is very close to having the same effect in image 2. In 2, if you do a slight distort to the right side wall, more toward the back, to pull it slightly more toward vertical, I think you can make this a far more powerful shot. I just feel like I am leaning to the right so far, I am going to fall off the frame at any moment.

I had to sacrifice a lot of your image to get where I am suggesting, and it is more my thoughts than an absolute...I did discover at one point, that by just leveling the steps in the foreground, I regained a much better sense of balance as my eye led itself up the pathway.
