The basic composition of the first one is good, you have a level horizon and while the jetty is centered vertically, it still follows the ruls of thirds for where it ends, the waterline falls just where I would want it to..
On the second one I would of used a slightly wider aperture to reduce the depth of field a little more and blur that background further.
Nice shots... and Girls? I HATE spiders! :o

I agree with Bob's critique about the two pictures. I want to say, also that I like the colors in both pictues.
About the subject in the second one you are right, I am afraid of spiders :o however it is a nice macro.

Thanks for your comments.........I take it onboard. Now I think about my shots more and look at my pics think what I could have done.....(learning)
K .....my digital camera is the cannon Power Shot A85 I am hoping to update my SLR to a digital when I get the $. I like this compact as it has plenty of manual options and is great to carry every where.
I am no expert when it comes to spiders so I did a search on the golden orb spider and your right it is! There was a smaller spider in the web when I took the shot I thought it was the male..........as it turns out it was I wish I got a shot of him as well now.
