Too dark?

Working on longer exposure shots this weekend.

Thoughts? Too dark?
1/6 second, ISO 80

I like the rich greens and the detail in the first picture I don't think it looks too dark. The 2nd one looks a bit brighter almost like it is a different time of the day where the sun is brighter.

To me, they look just fine. Nice!

I like them. Thats what one sees in the forrest

They both look good, ...earthy.

Ideally, I'd say split the difference if you can. The first one seems a little dark, and you lose some of the stuff in shadows. The second is a little too bright; you lose the depth of the color.

I like the first one better. I like the rich green in the upper left in the forest and how the eye is drawn to the water.

The second one draws the eye to the sun-lit rocks in the lower left corner — which is fine if that is what you are after.

But I like the first one better.

To answer the question: No, not too dark IMO.

Nice, very nice shots.

I personally like dark, so im biased, but #1 looks awesome. Richer and more intense imo
