Those are great Steven!!, dramatic stuff. Nice SN arcs in the 2nd one. I like the dark base on that cell to the R in the 1st image

Aha, that explains the dramatic skies... Excellent work, and not overdone HDR... Especially handheld...

They're both excellent photos and at first I thought no. 1 was the outstanding one but a second look makes any choice too difficult, nicely framed too.
