I took these three photos on a trip to Montauk, NY last week. As these are my first two posts in this forum, I am very interested in receiving critiques/comments/suggestions on them as I look to improve my skills. Both images were taken with a Fuji X-T4 using a 16 f/1.4 lens, tripod-mounted. The photo of the jetty was taken with a 3-stop ND filter. Minor editing/cropping in C1.

Thank you for looking!

Curtis, for some reason the images lack sharpness. Especially #1, on #2 did you try to clone out something on the horizon line on the left side? might want to look at it closely.

Thanks for taking the time to look at the images and respond. After your comment on sharpness, I now recall that I was likely trying out ICM in photo #1 - I shouldn't have used this image. On #2, I did try to remove an object on #2 and I noticed the same "ghosting" effect after I posted. It was my first attempt at removing an object from a photo - obviously I have some learning to do! But, I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment!

I learned not to post critiques, comments or suggestions on a presentation forum. If you really want some feedback, I recommend posting on the Photo Critique forum. The forum has been a bit slow lately so I am sure you will find quite a few photographers who will spend the time to help.

Let me guess it was pretty windy at the jetty, or maybe you used a large aperture?
It has happened to me a few times, hence I learned to firmly set the tripod on the ground, and use either delayed timed or a remote shutter release.
Composition is great, I like colors on #2 a lot ...
#3 is well made, it gives me an emotional reaction ...
