I have one in color and one B&W, not sure which one I like better, but I'm open to comments on both

I'm a big fan of color so the second one is my pick. Just level out horizon the a tad. both are good shots but I like more rocks in the foreground like the first image.

I must agree with Nature Nut, i do like the color in the second one, it gives it more of a "softer" feel.

Great shots by the way

I'm a color guy so number 2 is the winner. Water is so nice to work with on longer exposures.

B&W for me but I would have removed the dust spots.

B&W for sure. The color one is just very bland. You should try again at sunset to get some variety of color.

Permanently

the sea does not tilt but a camera can for sure ... the first image (color and b/w) suffer from frame half-itus or split frame and note how little the top half offers in contrast to the bottom. this may in fact be beneficial but the split-itus is routinely shunned in composition circles.

LOVE the b&w pics. In the last one I would crop out that little piece of rock popping in on the left, its distracting.

usually would go for B&W, but the colour in this is quite special.

Thanks for the input guys. All the comments are appreciated. I love the color of the water in the color version, and how it doesn't quite blend with the sky, but then I love the solitary feel of the B&W version. If I do decide to go further with these pictures though I will have to level off the horizon and clone out those dust spots.

Thanks again guys, keep 'em coming. :-)

#2 is very soothing to look at. The color gradients there are great. Maybe rotate .5 of a degree to the right. Great shot
