Both stunning! They both lead you right into the picture very effectively.

Second one for me - very engaging and great sense of atmosphere

These are both fabulous. I especially like the 2nd one. I've also learnt something this morning reading this thread - I now know what langmuir lines are !

 

[SBPhoto]

As others have said both very pleasing images, great foreground interest and leading lines. I havent read everyones comments but I like on the first one how the 'mountain' for want of a better word, it puffing out the clouds from its top.
The second one is nicely balanced with the trees, and a bonus that there is a fallen tree too, added interest for me. Well done, well worth going through archives.

I know where you took shot two from, almost to the exact cm...

Nice but I want reflections and these foreground reeds tack still and sharp. For this reason I prefer one with the way the light catches them but the locale of two.

Punchy and dramatic conversions though
