Low Tide in Torrent Bay

I did a hike in Abel Tasman, New Zealand recently. One of the campsites on my way was located in a beautiful bay. I woke up before sunrise and went to catch first rays of light. Unfortunately I forgot to grab zoom lens. Therefore I've done whatever I could with wide one.

I really like first photo. Which one is the best from the set? What could be done better in terms of composition and post processing?

The first photo would be my selection as the rest seem average.

Hey Alex,
I would agree the first one is the best, would be even better without the hills on the right but you can't just erase a hill. I tried a vertical crop as you can see below, and I like it like that, just my opinion though. The texture in the foreground is just great, the reflection subtle but definitely there. It's not overprocessed, unlike a lot of stuff around here.

Hi Nick. Thanks for your feedback. I was worried about overprocessing it. Just added more blue to the bottom and a bit more warmth to the top to get a bit more intrigue.

Vertical crop really works! Thanks for the idea.

The reproach

The attitude of these birds seemed me as human , so I took it.
