nice set MB. 2 and 3 are my favourites. Both for the details and bokeh and #3 also for the moisture

To my eye both images look underexposed by a about 1/2 to 2/3 (shot 2) of a stop.
There are no specular highlights on the water
Some levels play would let this sing louder. Hope that may help

Totally right, Marko. I think I washed out the contrast using the radial filter to highlight the subject and burn the outer water. Thanks for the tip. Might try reprocessing later.

Fisheye works well here - i might try to open up the blacks by 15-25% if this were mine.
