I can only open the springtime one as a larger image so I can't really get a good look at the darker one, which sucks. They're both looking nice and moody.
I just think with the darker one you could bring some more of that orange in the clouds into the highlights in the foreground, which are white at the moment. And maybe add some extra contrast into the midground, it all seems a little grey. I think it would help get away from the feeling that only the hues have been changed between the two.
The tree on the right also has a weird straight edge that caught my eye at first, tiny thing, but it pulls away the focus.
Nah man, I don't have nearly enough money for such things at the moment!
Also just looking at the pic again, try making the background darker then the midground where your focus is. You did it in the first one and it works well to separate the depths and pull the eye to the middle.

The first two looks gorgeous. Interesting exercise that you could make the same scene in different conditions. You're getting better.
thanks Claire. The script calls for flashbacks from the present (cold and rainy), to the happier past.
Happy new year.
Cool mate.
