Both are fine images. The sunset image is lovely, and not at all cliche. (After 5 weeks in Maui, photographing sunsets virtually every night, I consider myself an expert in cliche sunsets. <GT>)
The tractor image is even more interesting. I like the contrast between the regular patterns of the silo and the tractor grill and the irregular ones created by the grass and the saplings. I think it works very well indeed.
