Thanks for the kind comments.
The second picture is a remote flash shot through some trees. We are surrounded by woods and my daughter stepped into the wood about 20 feet or so, I set the flash up on the edge of the woods and shot the flash into the woods. All I did was a little contrast adjustment and then desaturated/cropped.
Here's the original straight from the camera (resized only)
