What do you think of these two shots?

[Rob Beltman]

I am just wondering what you think of these two shots.

The palm tree was shot with my Canon Eos 3000 and a Canon 80-200 zoomlens @ 135 mm. Aperture and shutter not recorded. Film was Fuji superia 100. Site: Playa el Agua, Venezuela.

The geese were shot nearby my house in the small lake at Landgoed Te Werve. I kind of liked the graphical illusion of the window and the geese looking into it. This shot was also taken with my Canon Eos 10D and the Canon 80-200 lens @ 135 mm. I would have to look up aperture and shutter speed. A small treatment with Paintshop Pro and minor reframing gives the following result;

I'm wondering what you think of it.

Well, I don't find the one with the Palm tree that atractive...just another palm tree shot... But the second photo is really nice! :) Especially the reflection effect. Well done! :D

First one would be nice if it was more saturated. A polarizer could help. It is a basic shot, but like i said before "saturation" would be nice.

The second is good. I like how you have to ducks on the top frame and the bottom is the reflection

Agree, polarizer would do a world of good there but my main problem with it is that the composition is too centralized and tight.
About the ducks, dunno, it isnt particularly striking but i cant see anything wrong with it. Looks very nice. :)
