Like the other post - way too cooked for my taste. From what I see, they both have potential to be beautiful shots. The processing is just too distracting for me to even get a good look at the subject.

The boat in the first one just gets lost, imo.

The second one looks as though it may have had potential, but the editing killed it.

I'm noticing a pattern.....

These are not too bad, but my main question is why you would shoot scenics in portrait mode. The second one I can understand a bit, because you wanted the dock, but I will bet you that you could have shot both in landscape mode and maybe taken a better image. The problem with being very tight on the subject in portrait mode is that you don't show enough of the context. I am not saying that taking scenics in portrait mode is wrong, it is just different and I am curious as to why you did it - that's all.

My only other comment is that they look a bit oversaturated, but then maybe that is just the way they show up on my calibrated monitor.
