Hi,
I like the second shot best, but I have a few comments on both of them:
First shot - I would remove about 50mm from the bottom of the photo to bring the bottom of the gate almost to the edge of the print, then use transform to straighten the verticals which are converging slightly.
Second Shot - I would straighten the verticals and remove about 10mm from the bottom.

Berlin is a beautiful place - did you go to the old postal museum? It's really good!

I really like the second one - think I've seen similar to the first too many times.

For the first, like Phil says, I would think less foreground would improve things - but having stood in that spot, I know it's a busy road and not really possibleto get in camera - perhaps crop in a bit...

I like the angle of the gate in the second shot - it's not an angle you see often. It wasn't until I walked through the gate that I realised there were plaques etc on the walls. The usual shot is head on which hides these. I also like the way your long exposure has blurred the figures - made me think of ghosts and therefore the history of the Tor. Again, like Phil, maybe a bit less foreground...

Nice images though

Second shot for me also although the sky is great in both of them. I think in the first one I would have drawn more attention to the two people looking at it but then I like including people in all my shots.

I would tend to agree, if they were mine I would tranform the verticals and crop accordingly to remove any unwanted foreground. In shot 1 this would naturaly draw more attention to the two people and in shot 2 after transforming the verticals you may find yourself cropping some off the sides as well providing more attention for the Tor.

I would also keep originals intact, as the distortion in shot 2 adds a certain feel to the dramatic sky. Nice work.

Second shot works really well : )
