Evening all,

I went out for the first time in quite a while last night with a 'wispy' seawater shot and came away with the two following photographs. Please can you critique them for me. Looking at the photos on my laptop they seem quite light but the total opposite on my works monitor. The blacks look clipped to me, I've tried to 'dodge' the areas but to no avail; similarly I've tried pushing the 'lowlights' up but the photos began to look natural. Photos below:

On my monitor the blacks look a bit blue but there seems to be plenty detail in the dark areas. My monitor isn't calibrated though.

I can't comment on the colours/shadows as I'm on my iPad but the composition looks good. I think the sky in the first looks a bit over exposed. Might look better dropping it down a little?
 
Thanks for the comments. I did use the graduated filter tool in Photoshop theres a good chance I didn't reduce the exposure enough.
