The first one is great. You made something that could be boring very attractive with careful use of perspective, and lighting. I would maybe crop the extreme right with that colorful umbrella.
I like them both, but the are a few things I would do, all about what you want to show. (Mostly down to personal preference)Here I upload two pictures... they belong to my city's waterfront.
Where did the water come from? Is the hidden bird shaking?On the subject of birds, good glass and high speed photo. Nikon D90 and my old Nikon AF-S 180mm f/2.8. I have it as a canvas in the living room as well.

The first one is the most recently took.

Comment, criticize, suggest...
BathYes, it's taking a bath.
Bubblegum. Taken indoors with a cheap compact 1/2.3" (tiny) sensor camera at 1/4 second (!) at f 4.5 (that's as fast as the lens on that camera gets at this focal length) at ISO 800. I know, technical quality is awful, but the best camera is the one you have with you. I got the shot. I was between a rock and hard place. I liked the way she blew bubbles so I asked if I could take a picture. You can see me in her sunglasses.

What are your intentions with photography?
Yes, stabilizers are great for this kind of work. Here is another one, 48 mm equivalent, 1/10s:Enough with the birds already.
