Lovely pics, love the cloud.
Only slight niggle is I would drop either #1 or #2, too similar and they take away from one another.
#3 just about shades it over #1.

Lovely colours in #1 but it seems very pixelated - cropped?

like no 1 and 3 ,but 2 does nothing for me i dont like it think it might be the pp

These shots are great. Theres something very humbling, a sense of awe about the first shot, the boats seem so fragile. The second would be much better if there was more contrast, less grey in the pp but still, very nice. The third works really well too in that with the figure in the foreground, you really get a sense of scale. Very nice and not easy considering on a day like that the light can be very difficult to work with, to get something special. Well done.

I like the feel of #1 & think it works.

The Mono Conversion lets you down in #2 as the sky is burned out.

In #3 my eye is switching between the Lead Line of the path & the Boats. The Horizon also seems very central. The sky is burnt out & does not work as well as #1

I'd go for #1 aswell. The tones seem to be pretty spot on, and its a better crop than #3. That cloud is so oppressive.

I really like #1! Nice contrast!

I like no.1. It has a nice feel of drama to it with the large over hanging cloud.

No.2 is too cluttered in the foreground whilst the sky is over exposed.

No. 3 has too many points of focus, between the path leading down to the boy, the very large sky and the boats.

Nice set, like number three, path leads u into the pic.. For once the irish weather comes in useful to give you these nice moody pics..

Really like #1 AND #3. . The red sail makes the shot for me. Do I hear "Red sails in the sunset":P;)

1 and 3 and take number 2 out. There is nice continuity between 1 and 3.
