I think your biggest issue is what is your main focal point? You could crop it down to view only the building or the trees. Depends on which you like more

I like the 2nd one better also because I can't tell what your subject is in the first shot.

That's a cool old building in the first shot. Is it a school?

@krusty & windrider : thanks for pointing out that cropping and focusing part wih me. ill try to keep my photos more focused to something from now.

@beav : No. I had actually sneaked into a cattle farm. Its one of the thousands of buildings there that houses cows, bulls, horses, foals etc.
