Decided to get up early and give the camera an airing. Weather looked ok for sunrise and coincided with high tide. Sadly the sun did rise above the horizon but with hardly any colour in the sky or cloud :crying: Gotta love this landscape game.

Anyway, decided on a little swooshery on the first and squared the second with a long exposure of 130 secs.

Added a long exposure of the first one for Ash :)

As above - number 2 is sublime, one is just excellent haha! What filters have you used (the brand I mean) ?
 
#2 for me but I think I would have preferred the more natural water of #1. It is the light of #2 that wins for me.

Thanks Chris, all my filters are now Lee filters. The new thinner polariser which is slightly warmer than the old one, Lee 0.6 soft grad and then the Lee 10 stopper.

Another vote for the second. I find the surf in the first a bit distracting. It would look better (to me) cropped just below the right hand post.

Thank you Jan.

Second is an excellent shot, Im with Jan and I also find the surf slightly distracting in #1 but the #2 would look lovely on the wall.

Nice shots Paul, I prefer the second one too

Second one is a killer and could also look great in a b/w conversion - one question, is the horizon straight - looks like it might be slightly uphill left to right (or could just be my eyes!). Would also really like to see the first composition (or similar) done as a longer exposure as I think the posts lead your eye to the marker and then from there onto the lighthouse(???), but as others have said currently the surf is a bit distracting.
 
2nd image is a stonker, not that the first is shabby.
