Two scenery photos

[jlk]

Any tips or critique?
Thanks

I like the first one better out of the two. I do think that both would benefit from the sun being placed on a thirds line though.

Nice Photos, like the 1st one best, well done for getting up so early too!!

I had the same idea to get a sunrise photo this morning, but couldnt manage getting up at 4:30am :baby:

Good stuff

i think number one is heading in the right direction, the waves and reflections on the wet sands as some interest in the FG and the sun positioned well within the frame. but the horizon is too central, i think cropping something off the top of the image would really help the photo. i would perhaps have walked further to the right on this shot to include all of the curve os wet sand caused by the waves rather than chopping off some of it.
the second image doesnt work for me, exposure is controlled as well as the first and there is no FG interest.

just out of interest where were these taken?
