Tripod Hole Locations in Big Sur. The first two are 30 second exposures using Zeiss 21 and 35mm taken near Sundown. The last is a 2 second exposure.

I like #1 more than #2. Nice composition and colors. I do think the water/foam is either overcooked or needs some work. I see some green tint that catches my attention.
In #2, I think the exposure looks to be a bit too long. The water/foam has gone a bit too far to nearly blown out and distracting. Lovely scene, though, in both images.

Thanks of the f/b.
I took care of the green tint which I did not catch in processing in the 1st. Using my 10ND filter puts a bluish green cast which I have to compensate for in processing. I'm not too concerned about the foam in this one. Trying to deemphasize the water anyway.
WRT to the long exposure, I just uploaded a 2 sec exposure of the same scene done at f2.0. Also on the 30 sec exposure turned down the highlights to get a little bit more definition.

I like #1 very much and the cloudy sky helps a lot. Long exposure works very well here. I prefer #3 to #2, I'm with Dave on the exposure length, it's just a bit too much and I prefer the third image for that reason.

Wonderful locations.
#1 why is the sky and water so greyish, desaturated looking?
In the other I find the palm tree on the upper left a bit distracting, and kind of blocking the view.

I desaturated the ocean and sky to a black and white so that the light emphasized the coast line.

They are all pretty good compositions, I prefer #3 for the reasons discussed above... also I love the colours.
I am wondering if the blurred palm leaves in the foreground are due to shutter speed or DOF? I wonder if those being sharp(er) would improve the image?

I prefer #3, the colours work for me whereas #1 they don't have the same appeal.

The palm tree leaves were moving and so it was due to shutter speed. DOF wasn't an issue.
