Default rock face

I知 new so I would like feedback on my work. I have had my Nikon d40x for 6 months now and I知 quite a beginner so let me have it. Thank you in advance for your comments. The two photos are in Cabo, Mexico. One is a crop that I tried to get a better composition. How did I do?

I really like both pictures- I like the first one with the beach better. I would've tried to position the horizon a little higher and moved the camera to the right slightly for the first pic. Nice colors- I really like the pictures.

Absolutely yes would love it , especially the croped one, I realy enjoy the detail in the rock formation and composition.

PP means Post Production.

From the thumbnails I thought I'd like the first one better, and when I clicked on it I liked it a lot, the wave on the sand makes a good leading line into the rock and the whole is an interesting and pleasing picture.
But when I clicked on the second I found the rock formation really stunning and it really had impact, the form and texture and size of the rock is dramatic and interesting.
So now I don't know which I like better, but I like both very much!
I would consider buying either if I saw them for the right price and size. If the first one was large enough that the rock had as much detail and impact as it does on its own I might choose that, but if they were printed a bit smaller I might go for the one just of the rock.
I'd be very happy to have one as a gift - hey thanks for offering!!

Thank you all for the feed back. I知 glad that they came out well. The reason I ask what would you do with it is so I know about how others see my work. And so far I know that the first photo needs to be a large print and the second one can be a smaller print. The buy question tells me it has some value. Meaning that I知 on the right path. Thanks again.
