The last one, as the lighting, shapes and tonal range is calm, pleasing and interesting. The composition is good. With the first one, I would like to see a more saturated sky. The second picture doesn't quite have the colours and I would like to see more details in the right side (boats, houses, etc)to balance the darker mass on the left. It looks like the contrast is a bit much. The third picture doesn't really give me something to hang on to - my eyes are roaming all over the picture searching. The next picture is much, much better - good colours and composition and has impact. I would either increase the contrast a bit on the hills or run the burn brush over the darker bits of the hills to give it the contrast and more form.
If you still have time and if available, shoot some pictures of waves hitting rocks or a rocky beach with waves breaking over them. They would be more appropriate than some of the above pictures for a seascape topic.
By the way, how have you done with your previous assignments which you had posted here for comments?

Have not entered them yet..they are up and coming assignments I am working on..some of this is from my archives..I will try to get down to the beach around sunset one of these days...
I have won 22 times in competition. I belong to two clubs and enter all the time..I learn from the judges critiques..
I love the simplicity of #2 and #5. Altho', granted, they may be more about line & graduated color than "seascape".
