Hi Xavier
First shot has a very nice light and colours - from my point of view it 
suffers from a lack of focus in the foreground though . From my 
experience, autofocus will have it this way - I wish this could be 
adjusted on my L1 BTW - I mean "telling" the camera you want more depth 
of field before the virtual focusing plane than further away - the way 
out is manual focusing, which works well when you're not in such a hurry 
to shoot (back to the old days of DoF, hyperfocal, etc. - but proves 
tricky when pointing and shooting if you want to "seize" an opportunity.

In the second one, I'm sure you can get rid of at least some of the haze 
in the background, using either SPix or LRoom. Try from the Raw file, 
you'll be surprised by how magic the thing is. But I like the greens, 
very subtle rendition of Sring colours.

Keep shooting

More off list or on the phone when you want to.
