Very pleasant shots, Gerry, and the long exposures suits them well.
Having viewed them on Flickr, they do appear a little soft, that's possibly due to using f/22, or there again it could be camera movement? Either way, still very nice images.

The black and white is especially dramatic, maybe the blacks/contrast could be pushed a little more to bring out more tonal range.

I wish I lived by the sea!!!!

Love no2, agree with Norfolkbloke about the tonal range.

I prefer No 2 because there is a little more movement showing in the water. It is probably just me but I would like to see that bit more movement in the others. The completely smooth water to me is just too much long exposure.

Thanks for the comments, I've tweaked no 2 a bit below. 1 and 4 the tripod was jammed into wet sand as best I could and no 3 was on a storm beach, the rocks moan and groan every time a wave hits so I doubt it was too steady. I've added one below with a bit more movement, the sea was quite calm hence I went with the long exposures to smooth it. I do wish I lived there, the Atlantic coast is an amazing place, different every day!
