Nicely done. Ocean City used to be part of my sales territory when I worked for Fujifilm back in the 70s.
Great set, it brought back a lot of memories. When I was younger, every year we rented a condo on Ocean Avenue directly across from the fishing pier. It was a beautiful location in Ocean City. Directly across from beach and boardwalk.
Very nice, I spent a lot of Summer vacations there.

A few from sunrise yesterday.
I haven't done much ocean shots. (funny since I'm Navy vet)
any feedback on crop and composing these type of shots is appreciated.
Thanks

Sharp superb takes. I love the blues and greys mixed with the pink orange red.
Jim, I am not the kind of person who enjoys swimming against the current. I am surprised not one person here have told you that your beautiful and well composed images are overexposed. Look at the histogram and you tell me.
I am posting for your consideration two of those images. All they have different is a simple Curves Adjustment. Grab the diagonal line of the adjustment in the center and drag it down to taste. It is very possible you are looking now at the colors you saw in the original scene.
If you like your images like they are simply ignore me.

Camerapapi, how much did you find them overexposed?
Good morning.
Thank you for the feedback all.

I typically raise the exposure .5to .75 stops on pics with dark areas to compensate for printing.

Very nice pictures! Used to spend vacations in Ocean City NJ, and time at the Chatterbox as a kid..
These are very nice shots. I used to go to the Chatter Box but in Sea Side. Unfortunately Sea Side is over run by a caliber of people that I prefer to keep the kids and myself away from.
Ocean City is a great place to spend time with the family, it’s what the Jersey Shore is famous for.

First, get your Horizontal water line straight. Other than that. Great Images.
