Give me your opinion of my post processing. Too much? Not enough? Try something else?

I like #1, the barn looks a little underexposed and the vinegrette is a little to heavy handed. A vinegrette shouldn't be the first thing you notice about an image. I'd also up the exposure a little on the barn it's self and mask back the sky and the gras in the foreground.
#2 - I wish you hadn't crop off the front bumper. It also could use a little bump in contrast to make the rust really pop.
Sorry got distracted by the kids (hosting a sleep over tonight)...
positivies: I really like #1, the whole image speaks to me. It's sharp, the barns are in focus and it just works.
#2 - great find. This one has a lot of potential.

I like both compositions. On the second one, the exposure and color are good, but it might be worthwhile to clone out the phone lines. Either way, I like this shot.
On the first, I don't care for the vignetting - the subject fills the frame so you don't need anything to draw attention to it. It also looks underexposed, and I see a few dust spots in the sky (an easy fix in an editor). I'm not sure about the phone pole and lines.

Well, here I go again. You have to understand that this is coming from the king of "what not to do". I totally agree, lose the vignetting. It has its' place but not here. The subject fills the frame nicely. The good thing is that you tried it. Way too many people vignette just for the sake of vignetting. Don't fall into that trap. And bring up the fill light a little in order to bring out more detail. As for the pole and power lines, try with and without and see which way you like it.
Now for the truck in the weeds. I happen to like trucks (and cars) in the weeds. I love the way that the colours are not over saturated. Once again I have to agree with the Boston Terrier. Bring up the dark's a little and that photo will certainly pop. But before you do that, make it ever so slightly more vivid. Don't over do it. Then play with the contrast. And if you can, re-crop so that the whole bumper is showing and then you shall have it! I really hope that this was helpful.

I wouldn't waste time with the barn - lot's you can work with on the truck.

I like the vignet in the first picture. I think it works well with the composition, ths size of the barn and especially the blue sky. I personally would like to see the barn lightend up more so that the color is more apparent before the vignet is applied but that's just me.
The truck is a really cool picture! Again, just me, I would have got rid of the phone/power lines. But if you're going for absolute location accuracy you nailed it.

I love a good vinegrette on my salads. Not so much on my photographs. OK now that I got that pun out of my system. The vignette on the barn photograph is a little heavy handed. But I do like the truck.

Wow, you really got that rust to pop. Thanks.....(for removing the powerlines too!)

barn is generic, the truck has much potential, when shooting 3/4 shots on vehicles be aware of the crop factor. I would have liked to see the right front bumber in the shot.
You have a great grasp for composition, would like to see more of your shots

The barn shot is underexposed, and the dark vignette only serves to emphasize that. Anyway, why vignette in black? White would have given it a dreamy effect. But I think you'd want to zoom out a bit if you were going to use a vignette at all, so as not to crowd the barn.
I liked the truck pretty much as is. You might try boosting the saturation, just to see what that does, even if it's not altogether realistic.
