Swings & Tractor

Please let me know what you think, besides the obvious merger with the swing and the trees. Also, the blue in the second photograph is delibrate.

Cheers,

The 1st image is a bit small to really see any detail but it appears to have a really nice soft touch to it that appeals to me very much.
I may have burnt in the sky a little to add a bit of drama there but I like it as is.

The 2nd image doesn't appeal to me very much I'm afraid. It looks like a scan of an old photo you've dug out of a 35mm photo album. If that's the look you were going for then well done.
But as is it looks like the whites are too green/blue. I'd be using the Curves function in PS to correct that.
I like the scene though, and in better light I think it would make a nice photo.
I see it in my mind taken early on a sunny morning around dawn with long shadows and fingers of sunlight. :)

I REALLY like shot 1. The snow could be a 'touch' whiter but that's it. Very well done.

Shot 2 on the other hand is an okay shot for me. I think there's just too much space on the right side and it's WAY too blue for my taste.
Hope that helps
