I only see two pics, not 4...but I like them both alot.

Only things I can say is in the 1st, the sand and mountain look slightly underexposed (although could just be my monitor, or maybe sun was behind a cloud). I think the 2nd would have been perfect if it wasn't for the "rocks"? in the bottom right.

Both probably could have benefited from a polarizer to reduce the glare on the water.

Edit...there's the other two

My opinion for what it's worth is all four are your average holiday snapshots, not jaw dropping photographically but not bad either.

Image 01: This would be my favorite. A well exposed photo with everything in detail. Maybe you could've gotten a little more creative & for example taken it from a lower angle giving it more of an original perspective?

Image 02: I don't think the 'rocks' are necessarily a bad thing, they add depth to the photo.

Image 03: I could take it or leave it, not very interesting, too generic. Colors are nice & crisp though.

Image 04: Same feeling as image 03, they are essentially identical images with this one's colors being more bland/washed out particularity the top half of the photo.

Not sure what sort of critique you're looking for...they're basically vacation snapshots and most suitable for the family album (and please don't consider that in a negative light). They're just not what I would consider "artistic" photographs suitable for framing and hanging.
