Holiday pics

Hi all

Just got back from a LONG needed holiday, and apart from trying to remember how to use my D70, I thought these images were nice. Bear in mind there is no post processing, just straight off the camera. I especially liked them as I am not a particularly art-type person.

Welcome back Glenn

They are both nice images, but could be great with some post processing.
BOth could do with some of the bottom trimmed off. Some black helps define the view and set the mind for the silhouettes, but I think that there is more than you need here.

#1 is looking very grainy. Some noise reduction is called for here. I see you shot at +1EV. You might have done better to lower the ISO a stop. Still the nature of the photo would lend itslef to the invariable softening you will incur by applying noise reduction in post.

#2 seems to have a sloping horizon. If this is your intention, fine, but if not, it may look better with some straightening applied.
