Hey Brent, love the colors? Expect for the excessive red I think they are great travel pics. I would level the ocean so it isn't falling to the right, but otherwise it looks like you are having fun! And welcome to UHH!

The top and middle photographs are overexposed and would have benefited by a smaller aperture or the use of an ND filter. The draft wood in the top photograph is overpowering and to much of a distraction. moving to the left or right of the driftwood to show more of the beach line could add interest. The horizon in the middle photograph is not level, the use of a cube level fitted to your hot shoe would help you.
The bottom photograph has good composition, but is slightly unexposed and there are again level issues with the waterline of the river.
I hope these comments are helpful

The camera does great. I think your right leg may be a little shorter than your left but you can adjust for that by watching the horizon through the view finder. I took the liberty of removing the cast from a couple of them and straightened the horizon on the river photo. Since you allowed for the download I hope you don't mind.

Very nice. If something gets me to pop open my eyes and smile, that's a good sign. Your pictures did that.
Others have/will mention details that could be changed.
We have a Gallery section where people post photos and may or may not ask for comments.

I like them all, but I love the first one best. I like things in the foreground of a lot of shots and this one is special.

How about positioning that driftwood to the left, so that it occupies about 1/3 of the scene?

I like the way you used the drift wood to frame the setting sun. :thumbup:
