Few different landscapes

The first one is great. I love the simplicity and four distinct parts: sunburst, tree, water, and mountains. They're combined nicely. I love elemental photos like this that only contain some of the basics of Earth.
There is a repetition of triangles - skinny triangles laying on their side. There's a triangular dark patch of clouds on the left, a wedge of dark mountains on the right, and a triangular pattern of waves in the water. This is very pleasing.
Personally, I don't care for the "artistic" treatment. It's just not my thing. I'd love to see this scene closer to as it really looked.
But that's just my own opinion
The elements you've captured here are great!
The second photo has a great layered look: pebbles, waves, water, sky. Each layer is distinct and stands out well. I love the hint of color, although it's a little skewed from reality (as the naked eye saw it). IMO, of course. The look of the photo is more of a dreamscape, and in that sense, it works pretty well.

The Potential downside of close black Frames: Imprisonment!
Hi, Ossi,
I like the sea shore and especially when the photographer moves away from the expected to have a personal view. The problem is how you get us to see importance, relevance. Your way of presentation calls attention to itself. With the frame, frankly that's the strongest part of the picture. That shouldn't be. Also the black does not allow the landscape to claim the space, rather your pictures are in prison. I'm not saying that your pictures will now become wonderful, but like this you undermine your photography. For a border, unless there is some special circumstance, add near white. Unobtrusive frame.
Of course, I may be totally wrong and out if line because this is your vision and if so, I'll re-start my appreciation with that in mind. Tell me what you think! Thanks for sharing!
