Crusty, these are both beautiful images where the midway horizontal works nicely. It certainly catches the mood of the place although the last couple of times I was walking in that area I was enveloped in swathe of monochrome mix of rain and howling wind. One thing about the second image is the little white flecks in the tree reflections in the right of the image. A quick going over with the clone tool would finish things off nicely.

I like this one. The little bit of added detail on the right side of the image is nice.
Superb! Nothing more to say.
