Comment by MargaretNet:
First Impressions: as compared with the previous photo this one has a tighter crop (in camera) and this makes it much less busy; more movement caused a lot of detail to disappear leaving it with a more focused impression; the vertical texture has almost brush-like feel; the lighter part has still enough presence not to be washed out; great balance
Technique: more vertical movement on slow shutter, different PP
Suggestions: I like it as is.

Overall a beautiful photo in the style of the in-camera photo impressionism (I coined a new term :)

A comfort photo. Like comfort food. Just feels soft and good to look at.

Much better composition than the first. The high key is very effective.

On the plus: it looks dreamy and the colours are pleasant; trees are a beautiful subject!
On the downside: the centred compo is not all that pleasing to my eyes, that is, just looking at it my eyes hit straight on the trunk in the almost middle and sort of bounce out of the picture
Overall: It has a beautiful feel, but it could be better, I think, with a more careful composition.

Disclaimer: Just my silly opinions.

First Impressions: dreamy, serene, beautiful scene; I like the forest, the colors and the textures (I love birches)
Technique: vertical movement on slow shutter, little PP
Suggestions: not sure how to emphasize light - add some luminance? But it looks good as is.

Overall great photo and spot on the style of photo impressionism I am trying to learn :)

What a lovely feeling it invokes. I also used to spend lunch breaks at a lake ages and ages ago. I miss those days.
