The first shot is good exposure and has a nice range of colors. The composition is a little confusing though. The bottom half of the image doesn't really fit in with the beauty of the water and the sky. I think leaving the flash on might have emphasized the foreground unfortunately, when the background is really the most interesting part of the photo. I would suggest cropping it to make the water and the sky the focus of the shot.
I like the composition of the second shot a lot better. It feels a lot more balanced than the first shot. As Shpoop mentioned earlier, it seems kind of ambiguous as to whether or not the woman is important in this picture. It does leave me with a sense of mystery though.
