first one seems a bit overproccessed to me, second one is very nice though!
 
I feel I shouldn't like these, but I do. You've built quite a lot of blur into the sky in #1, the groyne is very dark, there appears to be quite a bit of tonemapping/processing, yet the colours, textures (particularly the water and the pebbles) and composition make it a very easy picture to fall into. 2 is another variation on the same theme, has a decent, easily understood composition, a nice amuse gueule to tickle the attention with the stones on the post, and the textures, and the contrasts between static and moving, are interesting.
 
No: 2 rocks my world (y)
 
Many thanks for the comments chapps. :)

#1. I would agree the comments on the first one looking over processed, but no tone mapping or excessive processing was involved. I quickly took this pic to get the light rays before they disappeared. The colour cast is from the cheap ND filter I used. I now realise I should have altered the white balance to correct this, so will sort that out.

#2. I prefer this one too, and more time was taken over this one in setting up a pleasing composition and pebbles. I’m going to have to Google “amuse gueule” though. :LOL:

Many thanks
Paul
 
I think both shots are equally good but I do like the way you are led into the scene in the first shot where you are eventually drawn to the shimmering rays hitting the horizon in the background. Fantastic.
