The first image: looks like the left half is darker than the right half
The second image is nice, but the subject is a bit small

Thanks for looking & the input. I intentionally left it a little smaller to show more of the pond. I know I didn’t use any gradients on this photo. Maybe some exposure brush work on the trees. Except for a ravine towards the back right of the pond, the landscape goes up all around plus, with tall trees except where the photo was taken which is along the road. Maybe the light is coming from that direction causing shadow. Not on my computer so can’t look at the time taken. Left is facing the west.
