Both photos are really nice! I love the colors in the first photo. I didn't notice it immediately, but I kinda like the long rope extending to the ocean (at the bottom right corner). I noticed that your water/sky ratio is near even...I usually don't see that in photos, but here, I really like it. I only wish you had left just a little bit more of the building in the photo.

For the second photo, I don't necessarily mind the people in the foreground, but it would look awesomely simplistic (and I mean that in a good way) if they weren't present. Anyway, it is also a great photo, I would probably crop less tight around the person in the bottom left.

Nice captures im likin the 2nd one thanks for sharing

i would have loved to, but the pier started to show up and it looked way out of place

i actually didn't crop that one at all. I snapped a few and this one turned out the best but the guy stopped right on the left frame. i wish they weren't in there to ruin my shot!

thanks

great pictures. off the hook.

1st one for me.
