You actually have some interesting clouds in the second image that certainly resemble a downpour out over the open water. I like the stormy looks to that image and the less than calm swell activity. The first image reflects an almost opposite mood with the smooth waters and the long shutter open. Both do a good job of conveying the distinct moods.
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
