These are great. Lovely composition and a full range of tones.
I'd be inclined to attempt a much bolder "letter box" crop of number two to lose some of the shingle.
No.1 has a calm, serenity about it. Love the sky.
Muchos progress!

Hi Emma,
You've been studying the art of B&W conversions, they are great. I agree with Andrew that the second one required a crop, and the crop is better.
Regards

Goodness me, Emma. I pop into town for an hour, come back and you've produced this! It is noisy but I don't worry about that in monochrome: it happened when you push the contrast a bit. I think it adds character like a fast old film like HP5.
Just run the dodge brush over the highlights in the sand at about 3% (make sure it's set to "highlights") it'll lift the foreground.
Best stuff,
A.

Dramatic viewpoint, Ems.
I should prefer to see just a little more of the peir: it's just too tantalising, I think.
Sky could do with the clouds being dodged to enhance their whiteness.
Could make a good print.

Emma,
"Tidy" is South Welsh for "Excellent shot!".
If you're really lucky, Gareth may call you "Butt" which is a great compliment!

Tidy butt [/quote]Told you: I think this means Gareth feels you've arrived as a bone fide photographer, Emms. Big moment!
Yes, that second verson is, in my opinion, much better. Look how the tones are more balanced between top and bottom. Gives it a real lift.
Now someone will say they prefer the original..which is actually fine!
