I like the second one. Not sure how or why..but the water seems so calm, yet so fierce.

You have the base for two very powerful & moody sky shots here, Ribby.
Try adjusting the levels on the sky to bring it out to its best.
Also try to reflect the sky off the water to add a bit of colour
to the bottom of the image.

Example1

Example2

I like the way you've used the debris in the water for foreground detail.

Hey, that's great Matt. What did you do exactly?

And thanks everyone else for the comments

Using the rectangular marquee tool, I selected the sky.
Then I created a new adjustment layer and adjusted the levels.

For the reflection in the water, I copied the image,
flipped it vertically then added it to the first image as a layer.
Then I adjusted the opacity to let the original water
show through the new layer.

This Tutorial covers most of above, but if you have more questions please ask.
