Interesting shots Joao, as they are I prefer the second one. I like the tighter crop.
But I also like the misty background of the first one so I wonder what it would look like with the tighter crop?
I really like the top one Joao, however has Ryan stated the crop version keeps the observer from not drifting away. I too would like to see the top one cropped
For me, I think these are both about the details upfront; primarily the autumn leaves, along with the grass/dew and trunk details. with that, the bg atmosphere creates a nice backdrop and your selective focus and dof emphasizes between the two.
I also prefer the cropped 1st version. I do like the warmth reflecting in the water of the second version - but the highlighted warmth up top in the bg I find a little more distracting.
