These were taken at the boat ramp at Alki/Duwamish.

What do you think? Suggestions please.

Thanks,
Keith

the 2nd one seems to lack clarity but they look fine.

What were the settings for the second pic. Was your ISO turned all the way down? First pic looks good

Yes it was. That was one of my mistakes. The other was I think was that the white balance was set for direct sunlight. Not sure if that makes a difference though.
