I agree with you the last 2 are the best, love the sun beams shining through the clouds

what time of day did you take these, I see the sky is really blue in the last one

I left at 4am to get the sunrise, but it was kinda cloudy so it wasn't all that spectacular until the sun had risen and was coming through the clouds, so these ones were taken sometime between 5:45 and 6:30am I think.

Lovely eye candy. :) Love #1 & 4

Watch out for your overexposure/flaring around the sun. I think #4 could use some cropping at the bottom; a bit too much foreground.

Thanks for the tips =)

^^ I like Nelson bay 2....I feel like it could be an inspirational poster

Nice ones, I particularly like #1. If you ever go back, I think you should definitely try some panoramas. These compositions are good, but I think they would look great as panoramas.
