that first one is pretty awesome (and I don't use that word lightly), very nice rendering in the OOC areas. I just wish there was a little more detail left in the piece of wood in the foreground. Once the eye has wandered to the actual point of focus on the wood, the highlights in the sharpest area appear to be almost blown. If you still have the raw file you could try a conversion that preserves the detail in that area, making the whole shot even more awesome.
Amazing! I love the perspective and the atmosphere. Nice inclusion of the OOF flower in the foreground. Only nitpick I have is that the sky in the upper left looks unaturally saturated.
@sebboh, I think I prefer the color version. There are some wonderful earthy tones in that shot. And your stitches are always fantastic!
@Jgreene11 I like your first shot very much, although I kinda wish I could see a little more of that seaweed in the bottom left. Number 3 is also very nice with the silky water. Looks like you had a great light show. Also, is that the Deerfield Beach fishing pier? I was just down there last week doing some diving.

Thank you Aham. I shot several versions of the scene, but this one was the only one that was usable. I agree that deep blue sky needs some tweaking.

jonrock, that is great sunset shooting. Big fan of this series.
jgreen, nice shots of the deerfield pier, I love that place.
briantho, enjoying more of the contarex series.
sebboh, agreed what has already been said, you have a great eye for your surroundings and making seemingly banal subjects spring to life. Quite a gift.
