A great set again but my favorite is the first one with the patches of blue and dark sky.

I like very much, but can I make a suggestion for #1: Try a crop just above the foam, which to my eye dominates and diminishes the beautiful tones in the water and around the rocky shoal and draws my gaze lower rather than upward to the fantastic sky. I know this isn't the UC section, so please forgive in advance.

Yes. But I also like the texture in that foam. Nice one.

Thank you Eric, Francois, David and Scott!

As for the cropping, I get what you are saying but I framed it so the foam and the sky kind of mirror each other, even if that means they also compete for attention.

Good stuff! Agreed on #1 being the one. Lots of good elements assembled nicely.
