They look quite weird. For my experience, I cannot define them as haematopoietic. You said that you used CD34+ cells from hES right? Can you tell us more about those cells, for example other markers or at which day of differentiation you obtained those cells...
Looks like someone in your second picture might be trying to make hemoglobin. (it's pretty much the only way a cell could be so red!). So it might be a start, but you've got to get those a lot bigger and nicer :)
And you used a methylcellulose with many cytokines... Maybe yes, your red cells could potentially be some EryP-CFU and the other some G-CFU (granulocytes colony forming unit), but I suggest you to plate more cells (maybe prepare different plates at different concentration), because it's hard to tell. As you may know, on the website of Stem Cell (http://www.stemcell.com/en/Products/Popular-Product-Lines/MethoCult.aspx) you will find some stereotypical colonies, in order to have a reference for your results. It helped me a lot when I started.
