Hello Again!

Been working on getting better with composition, along with adding more emotion and story to my photography. Figured I would see what kind of advice I could get to better my work, as I can always get better and learn more.

Thanks!

great image, but you have some room to improve on the composition, with such strong negative space and contrast, i find the lines are leading my eye to the right in the composition and out of frame. really like the contrast, and the texture as well as the long exposure effect of the water, good image but might be worth another attempt

Basically what David said. Pay more attention to things like your horizons and a lighter touch to your post processing. For example, in your second image shooting it from a low angle in portrait mode may have produced an interesting effect. Seeing as theres some clouds in the sky as well, maybe taking an exposure that really brought out the interest in the sky and another really long exposures for the sea then bringing them both together in post could have created some nice visual contrast. Keep going though Cody, you're on the right lines!
