I'd say you have one of each. Hint: #2 is art :wink:

I like #1 more.

#2 looks more like someone learning to use Bryce, but that's a critique of the content of the image, not the skill of the photographer.

I prefer no 2. It is very artistic and it resembles the pyramids but with water. Great colours

thanks for the comments, guys.

reminded me of egypt whilst I was sitting there watching the sun go down.

Blinkblink, it is water in the background of both of these.

2nd one is very cool simplicity great composition and dimensional subject matter whatever it is

this is just a rock with sharpish edges.
possibly man made, but sticking out of the water so that it looks like a little pyramid

Love to Mike but he and his acorn are in hibernation..

Very rude of me, Steve, not to be discussing your shots.
I like both of them but the colours in the second are really special. Not sure how I feel about the rock or how best to compose the shot for the best impact. I think you've done fine with the two examples you've shown here.
