Love the clouds, especially in 1 and 2. What PP did you go through? Or was most of it done using filters? Great shots, 3 is my favourite!

Loving 1,2 and 5. No excuses needed for the lack of light, you've done it perfectly. I can even see fish in the water! Really great shots, well done!

love #1 nice simple, clean composition. #3 is quite good too but misses that something that #1 has

No filter was used and a little post processing was done to these.

in the first one, I added a little bit a fill light, removed a cruiseship and a hockey goal?!? from the beach (there were kinda screwing the picture up imo)
I wanted to do some clean shots of the beach and the ruins so i also removed some peoples in the second one.

I lowered the exposure a bit on the skys/clouds and added a bit of clarity to the sky which makes the clouds pop out a little bit more.
