For the challenge- I think they are okay but don't think they would of scored very high for several reasons: the colors seem a bit flat I think thats because light. To me your daughter is much more interesting then the view out the window and the focus of the far-ground seems a bit off. Your shots show you have a very good understanding of dof/near and far! It may also help you to look at the entries from other members for more understanding and ideas.

You could try with Photoshop [carefully] selecting the areas and adjusting levels to lighten her face -- maybe some saturation adjustment, or a little burn tool for the far-ground.

I like the second one far better because of the arch shadow in the background. Assuming good PS tweaking and focus, you probably would have scored about 5.5. A more interested expression would help.
The Highlight and Shadows feature in Photoshop CS can work wonders on a shot like this. Here's a [very] quick adjustment (excuse the low resolution).

I too like the shadow/highlight tool. Here's my quick take; I didn't use shadow/highlight on this, however. I wanted to lighten just the face, so I dodged instead. I also did a curves adjustment to bring up the contrast of the scene thru the window,and burned a little bit at the top of the scene to reduce brightness.
