Ocean views - critique please

[danpass]

I'm not a big fan of PP other than crop but that is mostly because I'd rather not do it and just get right/over with the first time, ambitiously lazy I suppose LOL.


Although these have been PP'd (want to see the pre-PP versions?)


thanks,
Dan

Good shots, but I'm a bit confused if the crafts in the pictures are your subjects. If they are, you need a much closer crop, if they aren't, then they're distracting. :)

theres not really much to say about them. They are a bit boring for me and theres no real subject

You, in the boat, traveling off to a far away land .....

That would probably work if there was a view of some land in the distance but as it is theres just nothing of interest for me
