Hey man! Wow these are incredible and I can’t believe your stuff turned out so well! I am super impressed, well done! Great stuff, two ideas on photo #1.
The first is that you have a rock that you have out of focus in the bottom of the camera to add contrast against the background and the rock, good idea, bad approach. Your rock is taking up almost “half” of your photo! And its not even in focus! 🙂 So that brings me to the fact that your center piece, the rock that “is” in focus, is not nearly that big. Does that make sense? And two, when blurring water and items such as that, I would have (personally) increased the temp. to give a warmer color. And you should always use bilateral blurring when doing photo’s with editing like that. (p.s use the mask feature if you have it on your editing program.) With the slight exception that in some instances you can use box blur.
Photo #2. (Personally my favorite out of the two photos!)
Literally only one idea, not even edit, try lowering the sharpness setting on your rock, (again using the mask feature) it almost seems to stand out too well. other than that.
WOW! Color me impressed. Great job! Super-duper impressed. Good stuff!
