Any opinions?

The 2nd one, or red one has warmer tones and shows off the sand's color while the top one has cooler tones and kind of blends everything together. I prefer the warmer toned image myself :)

Second one for me too. The warmer tones are so lovely.

Honestly, I would blend the two; cool for the water and sky and warm for the sand and rocks. I tried it on your image really quick and imo it adds some very nice color contrast to the image and makes it pop.

Pressed to choose just one, I would choose the second though.

i like the first one better, the shadow areas on the rocks in it look a bit more dramatic to my eye

I too would do a blend of the two Rick. . .I think it would make a great contrasting shot.
