Hi Foggie, welcome to the fourms.

Good shots. I like the colour in them and they look good and sharp. One the first one I would try a panoramic crop. There isn't much interest in the foreground of the shot so you could crop some of the bottom out and bring the horizon closer to the bottom of the frame leaving the sky intact.

In the second shot, the only thing I would have done differently would be to try to change perspective to bring the jetty closer into the bottom right corner of the frame. You would loose some of the reflection of the uprights but the top of the jetty wouldn't be obscuring the landscape.

Having said that, I really like both shots!

Thank you ! I liked them was wodnering about the jetty sadly it is under water at the moemnt with the flooding .. will be reshoooting these onceI have some filters as wish to get them just about right I thought maybe the jetty needs liftin Ie shooting fro lower down or higher up to give some psae but the main problem with that is equipment lol I only have a cheapo tripod and no ND filters so this was best could do at the time ... ND 's are on order and tripod will be earlly next year ..... bloomin expensive this DSLR lark lol

Like Chris I`d favour a crop to both. The first is nice colour but as Chris says no foreground interest to keep so crop off the bottom and given th dark middle distance detail do soem dodge / burn on the sky and make the threatening sky the main focus.
In the 2nd I would go with a thinner panoramic crop taking out sky and water top and bottom to a degree and cropping on the right just at the first post. I`d also maybe cool it down a bt more in WB if you shot in raw or just up blue channel if not. There is little real subject detail so make it a blue shot that holds your interest.
