The first image may be better in B&W. There isn't much color to it. I think you also need to do some PP (post processing) to try to bring up the detail in the shadows a little more. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to "say" with this image either. The other two are well executed. The geese are a little far off, but the picture works. It's neat the way you showed them walking in the line. The ocean picture would be nicer if there were some close rocks or something to give it a strong foreground. You did a good job of not putting your horizon on the center of the frame.

Thank you for the comments. Points well taken. I believe I have the first photo in B&W, I will post if I can find it. Again Thank You

I'm pretty much in agreement with HisKid. The first one just seems a little to dark IMO. Other shots are very nice!

Love the second shot! Agree the first is too dark and may look nicer as a B&W

It was shot along the Oregon coast. Will get back with you on a location.

I think black and white might be really effective in the first photo. I would also clone out that pole on the right side.

The shot of the ocean waves shows excellent tension. I wish it were either sharper or blurrier. The headlands on the upper left make it a very nice composition.

Great exposure on #3. That silvery reflection can be hard to get right.

An ND filter might help in that top photo but it`s such a contrast, even that might not help. Maybe 2 seperate shots and splice top to other bottom. That`s getting into High Dynamic Range photography HDR and I`m only reading about that.
