Very nice, Ron. All three shots can stand on its own story. I would probably pick #2 as the best among the 3 for me. Good work, Ron!
With the first one, Ron, I would consider a different crop.
I would like to lose a little of that dark 'dead' area at the bottom. There is sufficient space to also remove a corresponding amount from the right side or alternatively change the ratio to 2 x 1.
Either way, it will make the pier seem longer.
Here's a cropped version Geoff.I kinda like both versions of this photo.The cropped photo i like for your reasoning,as it makes the pier appear longer but,i look at the dark area at the bottom of the uncropped photo as the dark before the light at sunrise.
I do thank you for your suggestion as any suggestion will only make me improve upon my skills. Ron
