Compositionally, both seem pretty interesting to me. The blue interpretation of the second is interesting and unusual. Looks to me like the first was shot late in the day from the road and the second shot in the morning looking back at the parking lot, right? I agree that the panoramic crop works well for both of these.
To my eyes - and I've looked on two calibrated monitors - the color in the first one seems over-saturated and unnaturally warm, particularly in the brightest areas of the dunes. It almost looks to me like the very brightest spot might even have been a bit over-exposed, as it has that look of a red channel being a bit blown out.
(I have shot in this area and roughly of this spot many times late in the day, and I understand that tricky nature of the light and color, especially the sometimes strong blue tones that you'll get out of those mountains in the distance. An alternative to pushing the color balance, already warm from afternoon light, towards a hotter balance can be to use the hue/saturation/luminosity controls to selectively reduce just the blue a bit.)
Take care,

Actually, both were taken early morning. I still remember the warmth of morning light. tnhe first picture was taken few seconds after the second.
