Straight from camera, downsize, sharpen once. Any critiques welcome as to cropping, colour etc/whatever.
Thanks Veiolets, I had thought of cropping the bottom off them, and now see that that would look kinda stupid.

That's a long harbor. The reflection in the water in the foreground also ties the foreground into the top of the shot. You could do a lot for this shot with basic editing tools. Bring up shadows, and tweak levels and contrast would bring out the reflections in the foreground and more detail in the docks and boats.
You got the exposure value "EV" just right to keep the detail in the brighter clouds. Composition in this is interesting the way the curve in the clouds follows the curve in the harbor.

Very nice for straight from the camera! I suck at post processing so not comments from me there. Like others have said, I do love how the branches mimic the masts. It's like an extension of pattern from foreground to background - very cool!

The coloring of this shot is really nice. And the brush in front makes this interesting.

Blues, lots of blues, soft blues, baby blues, light blues and even a few deep tones. I am very partial to blue. I like this a lot.

I like how the weeds/trees in front mimic the boats out on the water. Very pretty serene and happy shot.

I like the branches it the front. The whole is very blue, but not too blue.

Lovely colors and the reflections in the water. The sky is pretty terrific too. I find myself parting the brush to get a clear view of the harbor.

Nice image. The repetition between the branches in front and the ship masts works well to turn a minus (thye brush) into a plus. Nice work.

Very nice boats and cloud reflections in the water. Clouds in sky are very good as well, especially the way they lead the eye into the picture. I like the blue predominance, gives it a cool look.
