Thank you.

So I attempted a few more landscapes while on vacation last month. I couldn't decide between these two which I should post so I put them both here. They are from the same time, just some minor differences. I would appreciate it if anyone could let me know what I did right or wrong, and any advice on editing. Nothing fancy with the camera, just working on compositions and colors. I did a small bit of editing in raw and then adjusted the levels in Photoshop elements. Depending on how far my computer screen is tilted (or I am slouching when editing) it's hard to tell if the lighting is ok. Let me know how it looks for you. Thanks.

#1 - waves3 needs to be cropped from the left to place the bird 1/3rd in. You will lose nothing of imprtance.
#2 is a really nice snapshot.
#3 is your best shot. Quite nice.

Thank you. I agree with the crop on the one but I didn't want to lose the surf coming up in the sand. I'm going to play around with some different crops to see what I come up with. #3 is my favorite of the three. Thanks for commenting.

I did post the link of the 1st one in your earlier post.
They are all nice in their own respective ways.
Pic 1 for me, notwithstanding the position of the bird, I wouldn't want to loose the surf by cropping left.
Cheers,
