Welcome to the photo forum Craig! :]

I like the red tone of the 2nd, quite surreal!!
the pelican is nice with the blue reflection...
not so sure of the light frame you have there within the initial frame

Something to keep in mind when you shoot is the "Rule of Thirds" to add more interest & focus in your compositions

"The general idea is to find a pleasing placement for the objects in your photograph, rather than simply placing the main object in the center of the photo, or having your photo appear to be a random collection of elements.

To use the rule of thirds, visualize a 3 x 3 grid overlaying the scene you see in your viewfinder or LCD. When composing your shot, try to locate the main objects in your photo at the intersection of these grid lines. In other words, place your main objects 1/3 up from the bottom and 1/3 over from the left, or 1/3 down from the top and 1/3 over from the right, etc."

Much has been published on this basic guideline of composition that can be googled for :]

Keep up the good work & have fun shooting!
