Jeromy - Both these images are wonderful. The light hitting the trees and flowers adds a dramatic look to the images. Both are wonderfully sharp. Hard for me to pick which of the two I like best. I really like the contrast of the 1st image especially the foreground but the yellow light on the trees in the second shot is quite effective. I guess I would have to chose the first but I can safely say you should be very happy with both images! Well done!
Both are HDR using 7 shots. I do my best to apply just enough affect to add the depth while keeping a natural look. I just recently learned the High Pass sharpening technique in PS and it works wonderfully on these types of shots!
Very nice. What a great place to take photos! I could see how a low to the ground panoramic could work here too. I suppose I say that because I just visited winning panoramics on 1x.com with this one as an example: http://1x.com/photo/82152/weeklytheme:34, although I would like the foreground tulips sharper.
