a nice set and some glorious weather! a few look a bit over cooked for me the saturation in the blues and greens is a bit intense. The key thing you could work on for me is composition while you've captured some interesting views they could all be improved with a little thought, the sunset has far to much foreground for me it's not interesting I would have had a longer lens on making the setting sun and the post your features and getting more sky. The one before it is spoiled by the wall cutting across the foreground and the dark mass on the right.

Thanks for the feedback

Take your point about the sunset. If you look in the flickr set though there is another one shot at the same time with more sky. I just wanted to do a second one with more sea as I liked the reflection of the sun on the water.

Which ones look over cooked? Finally, I like the wall in the one before the sunset and think its a good contrast with the cliffs. I don't think it's ruined at all

The first and third look over done to me the blues and greens are just a bit to punchy for my tastes. I much prefer the sunset shot with more sky but still think a longer lens so you get a bigger sun would have been an improvement the sky is excellent much more interesting than the foreground.

For me the wall s are just to much of a bar to entry into the photo they block the eye rather than leading it to anything more interesting but that is the joy of photography it's all about opinion and we all have one of those

Have to say, I agree about 1 & 3, which I've now updated. Also edited the sunset one. Any better?

The wall one has been left as it is
