Probably two reasons, firstly some of us have been having problems viewing images in the new site and secondly we can't see enough detail for your plants. Can you take any closer shots of the top one? This is a long shot but it rather reminds me of a Cryptomeria but I'm far from certain.

For the second plant can you take a close-up of a branch/twig to show whether the leaves are opposite or alternate on the stem?
You could also try posting each plant separately in the Plant ID forum.
