Good, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. Seems to be lacking a focal point.

would cropping help or should I just take a different photograph altogether?

both photos seem to just have too much of a middle range in terms of colors / grays. some levels / contrast adjustment would help.

I wanna say, just decide on a clear subject next time. The second one has things that could be interesting, but theyre all cluttered together. Maybe more wideangle photo of the trees and factory, or just stepping back to include more of one or the other.

Completely boring and bland. Do you think they're interesting?

Trash these. Work on your composition. Try again.

it appears in the first you were shooting maybe the broken pane as your focal point, I would suggest framing it tighter to focus on that cropping out the second building in the back.

In the second perhaps you were shooting the stairway? you could crop a bit to tighten the shot up but theres not to much to pull you into the shot, alot going on thats sort of distracting. I like trees sometimes in the edges to give some depth but this is over kill.

Both shots exposure is off and flat, use levels in photoshop or someting like it to bring out the details.

If you're going for an artistic shot with these, they really don't make me think. If either of these were hanging somewhere I don't think anyone would be able to describe in any kind of detail after leaving.

I don't think he's looking for advice anymore. This is from 2005.
