Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Pall I like both of them but in particular the DoF affect in the 2nd one.

I really like the color, the saturation on the first one looks a little unatural though, which maybe is what you were going for. You have a couple of highlights that look blown on the tree though. The levels may be a little overworked, or maybe you didn't expose for them. It's an effective picture, but would be much better if the highlights weren't there I think.

The second one is pretty great, I wonder if you could have avoided the blurry leaf in the foreground? Would have been sublime had you been able to.

Sorry, just a little constructive critique in case you were looking for it.
