I don't find the first picture appealing, but the second keeps attracting my eye.
It is a bit too contrasty for on-screen viewing, but I suspect it will work very well on baryta paper.
I particularly like the contrast between the calm water of the foreground and the sea, the harmony of colours (green in the foreground, as well as on the left, the sea and the sky (although it's perhaps a bit too dramatically dark), and the birds.
Thanks for posting in a useful viewing size, and not too small or too large (full resolution shots or 2400x1600 is just too much...).
