What do you think?

Took a nice hike through the local nature preserve today. I had the whole place to myself it was great! Here are some of the shots I took straight out of the camera. Let me know what you think and any tips to make them better!

Thanks!

What's up with rock walls all over the woods in New England?

I think I may have had the ISO a little too high in this one. :er:

Which one do you guys like better? I like the first one more myself.
These two I switched out for the originals after I edited them I turned up the exp. comp by 1, sharpened them, and added a little color boost.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.

Dark being the issue here. From the EXIF: Exposure Difference -2.9

Definitely way under-exposed, but nice scenes.

I tried to brighten up the first one a bit so it isn't so dark is this any better?

In my experience, to make better than average photos in the woods you need great natural light. As I can see it, you found interesting motives in the woods, but something is missing. If you were there the morning the sun was shining, but still low and, for example, the beam of sunlight fell right on the rock, the photos would be far better. Of course, you worked with what you had and did a nice job. Which can be improved in the future.
