Great shots! It's a toss up between #1 and the last one with the lighthouse for my fav.

Think, I like #3 the most

In the lighthouse picture I like how the surf is braking in left foreground, but do not like that the lighthouse is centered in the frame. Do you have similar shot framed different or maybe crop the right side off.

Knockout shots!!!!!!! I am fascinated by the water in the first frame. I guess the waves give the blurr effect while the clouds remain motionless? Obviously a long exposure, but minutes or seconds? Hopefully those are not your foot prints in the lower left of the frame.

I had a teacher who fully disliked all blue skies. In my infinite wisdom I never listened to him. Now I am thinking he may have been right.

those are my foot prints

The blur effect is a combination of the tide moving and a strong gust of wind, but i am not sure. I have similar shots but the reflection is smooth, i like this one because of the blur effect. I believe it was shot at 1/30 or 1/45 because I didn't have my tripod with me.

The light on number 3 is odd because I found a large sheet of tin roofing i tried to use as reflector on the log. I should have taken more shots of it!
