Both very fine images, especially the first one.

Number two for me: classic.

The second image is a beauty. Where was this taken?

They're both quite lovely.
I wish I could get up as early as you do, but we seldom get light that night here in the morning.

I’ll tell you how the Sun rose —

A Ribbon at a time —

The Steeples swam in Amethyst —

The news, like Squirrels, ran —

The Hills untied their Bonnets —

The Bobolinks — begun —

Then I said softly to myself —

“That must have been the Sun”!

But how he set — I know not —

There seemed a purple stile

That little Yellow boys and girls

Were climbing all the while —

Till when they reached the other side,

A Dominie in Gray —

Put gently up the evening Bars —

And led the flock away —

That's Emily Dickinson. Today is her birthday.  :D

Thumbs up on both photos, #2 in particular.

Thanks for that reminder, Dave.
Happy Birthday, Emily!

Both wonderful captures - made me shiver in sympathy (I live in sunny and hot Queensland, Australia).
If I had to choose I would go with #2 as a better composition.

No. 2 is both beautiful and classical. Well done.

Beautiful results for a morning stroll. I especially like the second one but the first shot is also pleasing with the frost that outlines the trail.

Thanks to all, especially Dave for the appropriate poem.

Rajan, the 2nd was taken near Rondehaie, Tancrémont, East Belgium.

I apologize for being late to the party, but I too like the second one, and greatly appreciate the poem. Cheers!

I'm also a fan of them both. As for elements, backlit frosty grass is a favorite. But compositionally I prefer the second. Lots to like either way.

1 my fave.
Excellent management of the difficult against-sun situation, and very good for my tastes.
all the best,
