Very nice, especially the compositions + colours in both of these The sky in #2 is a bit posterized.

Hmm for the benefit of the uninishiated can you please explain posterised to me please

Roughly speaking it's caused by over-manipulation which results in deterioration of the image quality. This causes a reduction in the number of tones + colours produced in the final image, and the effect of this is that colours appear blotchy. HTH

Posterization is when the colour gradients don't look natural. It is due to there being too few tones. It is used deliberately in graphics posters.

I like 2 best, #1 is a bit cluttered.
