Very nice, it looks almost like a classic english duck hunting painting!

I like it - very atmospheric. Are you at all tempted to soften up / lower the contrast of the vegetation in the foreground?

I am a close-up photographer (MacroStop.com) who has decided to go larger and get into landscapes and perhaps portraits. Right now I am using my Nikon D810, but I have the new Hasselblad X1D on order and plan to use that for landscapes. So, this is just my first (literally) landscape attempt. I enclose another. I am sure I will learn to soften, sharpen, and whatever is needed as I go along.

I wouldn't be. It is fine as it is.

The second image is very likeable.

Nice catch with the geese. Was that the plan for the shot or just good luck?

It was the product of being there and being a photographer.

Seems like you are in the right direction:)
