The clouds dont look like water splats at all. I have the same effect happening out of my window right now
I bet you're on a boat

second version of the first shot I love!.
Tbh the very red cast of the first iteration was putting me off - even if it was the natural light, I wasn't too fussed on it.
The second version is fantastic though. The colder blues of the sea contrast beautifully with the still very red sky - plus the fauna is much more nutral, pleasing & punchier.
I like the clouds
I would have perhaps toyed with the RAW a little to try and get some more detail out of the rock in the lower left. At the moment I just feel it's neither here nor there - minor complaint though
Only thing I may have tried differently (had it not been such a precarious shot!) is slightly faster shutter speeds - even if it meant, because of the dodginess of setting up filters etc.. in such an awkward position - bumping up the ISO. Having said that, the image currently has a very calm feel - having a long, but slightly shorter exposure can add a ton more drama, but it may not have been suited to the shot.
The second and third are lovely shots, but for me just pale in comparison to the third. The last one I would have shifted the whole scene to the left a touch - bringing in more of the cliffs surrounding the cove, and popping the island in a more even spot. Slightly harsher shadows on the cliff face may work a bit better here, too. The water droplets on the lens are actually kinda cool
Well done for getting up

Thanks a lot for the detailed C&C, and liking the clouds!!!
You actually raised a couple of points I thought myself when looking back through. Definetly want to retake the wide shot and include more of the cliffs, and I'll try firing a flash & shorter shutter speeds to freeze some of the water as its splashing to get a bit more drama in that picture! Might be a few days before I work up the strength to get up that early again though...
I always find you need to revisit a location at least twice to get the best pictures
Just why does it have to be true of sunrises too! Maybe in a year or 5 i'll get it right first time

Dude, this looks similar to a photo you once showed me saying you'd like to be able to do that, and to be honest I think you've pulled it off! They have a really good feel to them, from all angles.
I would definitely be proud, especially after all te effort! Wish I could have seen you jumping around, still probably half asleep avoiding waves...priceless!
Keep em coming!
