Boats... like some input.

Just got back into taking pics after a loooooooong lay off.
Would like some C&C on these 2 I took over Christmas.
Cropped a lot of mud from the lower section of pic 1.

Thanx.

Really like the first image, but I would personally crop it just slightly on left and right, but that's just me. Love it. Second one doesn't do much for me, but still a nice shot :)

In #1 you need to focus in on something. As it is, it is too busy and no real subject of interest pops out at you.

#2 is a little better in that the subject is reasonably clear and separated from the rest of the stuff. However, it is still very static and has nothing to grab your attention.

Thanks folks.

Points taken. Was odd having the boat in pic 2 so still , very rare it's not force 10 gales in Scotland, so that's what grabbed my attention.
