Warren, your shots are great without processing. Some times in this game, something can be said for an un-processed image.
Number two is a keeper in my books and deserves to be framed on your wall.
I just had a quick play with curves, sharpening and contrast. There was no great improvement to be had. You do seem to have a bit of noise? Perhaps a lower ISO if you can or run them through a freeware program like Noiseware community edition...
On another note, DOWNLOAD GIMP NOW!! Will be total confusion to get started. It took me 3 months of part time use, now I am all over it. It is free and will become essential for future shots... Or buy Photoshop if you have the money. I prefer Gimp though, for it's very open source plug-ins.
