The first one I aimed to make more moody and dark so I used HDR processing.

and the second one I aimed to make more bright and vibrant. Tell me which you prefer.

Thank you.

Awesome shots! My favorite is definitely the first one! Great job!

Great job....they are both great, but the first one really stands out....could be a money maker!

The subject and composition are superb. My only quibble is that the HDR and panostitching on the first one has left a little legacy ghosting (probably from the clouds moving with the wind, but possibly with slightly-off registering/lineup of the HDR images). You may want to look at it at 100% crop and see if you can mask some of the ghosting out or correct the image alignment. To me, it's more evident in the center of the pano. Minor flaw in a really great pano, and unbelievably good as a first attempt.

It was the water that got me, due to the tide it's all out of line. And I agree the HDR made it kind of static in places so I needed to edit it in photoshop. May not HDR again, just wanted to try it out .
Thank you

HDR is often a matter of tools and taste , but when you shoot panos, you're likelier to get a high dynamic range, so it's a good tool to have in the box. I've moved mostly to Enfuse these days, for simplicity. Most of the panostitchers out there can be used as a frontend to enfuse. But y'know, that's when you've let your brain get swallowed by panostitchery.
