I'm not too familiar with long exposure photography.

I like the composition of #1 better, where you've excluded the bit of dirt on the bottom left. But I also think that since you've lost so much detail in the background (but not enough to make it obscured), that I prefer the lack of horizon in #2.

Either way, you've got a wicked colour cast going on here - unless that was an intentional post processing addition? In which case, it doesn't really work for me.

The colour cast is because of my camera's colour adjustment.Because I'm new in photography,I keep playing with the colours to find the right adjustment in the camera.But I think it is better not to use any colours because it makes the shot look artifical.

Agreed! It might also be worthwhile taking the time to spot heal some of those little dust(?) specks out from the water. It's not a huge deal, but it's one of those things that makes me crazy!

Because I'm new in photography

I suspected as much. A word or two of advice; become a good competent photographer; both technically and compositionally, before you start getting into advanced techniques, like long exposure photography.

An image needs to be strong technically; sharp, focused, appropriate depth of field, appropriate white balance, etc. and have good composition; rule of thirds, repeated patterns, etc. and then you can start applying things like the soft water effect you are trying to create. A strong image will work well, even without the effects. but a weak image will not suddenly become a strong one, just through the use of effects.

I don't use PS because I'm new,but now I know that I should have cleaned my lens and filter between two shots :-)

Dust on the filter or lens will not show up like these spots; my guess would be that they are on the camera's sensor.

Unless you opted for an artificial-looking image, I really think you should avoid playing with those colours. It also makes it hard to look at the images, in my opinion. Once you get that out of the way, you should focus on more important aspects of photography such as composition, light, and exposure. For instance, in these images, I would have shot from much lower with a more prominent sky during sunset.
