First one is nice, although I can't get too excited about it, it seems there's a lot going on with no real focal point of interest.
Second one is an absolute belter. :thumb:
You've cropped to a square format but I can completely understand your logic in doing that, it really suits the shot. There's no doubt where the focal point is, and the natural framing from foliage all around, the foreground interest with the stepping stones, combined with the reflection from the bridge all come together in a great shot. There's a great feeling of depth and distance you've achieved there.
My only minor niggle is the black trunk on the left is a bit distracting and the shot might benefit from cropping it out - might not - but I'd try it.

Very well executed shots. Tend to agree with CT about number one. For me the branch limbs are too distracting.
Number 2 is a cracker and well seen.
Good and sharp where it needs to be and very well framed.

Thanks guys,
agree with the comments on one - i had hoped the lamp posts would dominate more, but there is too much going on with the branches. :doh:
I'll try a slightly tighter crop on two to loose the left trunk.:thumb:
thanks for the views and comments
