I am considering entering one of these photos in the local newspaper's annual nature photography contest.
I want to make sure that the photos don't look too edited; they are allowed to be digitally edited but clearly I don't want it to be obvious.
I personally prefer the bluish/purple one but I'm not 100% thrilled with it. Some of the things I"m wondering about are 1) is the water too dark & 2) should I have more contrast (or less?)
In case it's not obvious, I've only had an slr (Canon xsi) for about 4 months so I'm still learning. In addition, these were my very first ocean sunrise pictures.
