The water drops on number 2 take away from what would otherwise have been a very moody shot. Not keen on number 3, just doesn’t seem to do anything for me.
no. 2 is my favourite. Has a jurassic feel to it . Love the power of the water. Shame about those splashes, might be worth a clone attempt.
No.3 composition wise is not great BUT the B&W conversion is excellent!. Shadows and highlights are spot on and the sky is great , no noise. I expect you were trying to capture the steps (or wall) going up the rock face???, Think you were too low to capture , though maybe some burning of the route might make it pop a little?
Nice shots nonetheless, looks like a fantastic place BUT not one for the kids :-)
Thanks for the replies!, re. the middle photo, I had in my head about an irish guy who swam across to the island in 2006 (10hrs! I think), i think I left the splashes in to be a reminder of hostile the waters are around here, this was a very calm day. But I’ll include a different shot without spray.

and yes did find the b/w conversion very pleasing, having a polarising filter makes this alot easier.
