I really like the repetition of the birds in flight and in groupings on the beach. They would make a great series. The lone birds not so much, but the one on the pier gets more points than the one on the beach. A polarizer would've kept detail in the white feathers (and also in the crests of waves and sand).
Second favorite beside the series would be the bench on the pier. I enjoy the simplisticy of subject, contrast of wood to ocean, and the linear aspect to it. The person's shadow is a little distracting. The line of the horizon also detracts a bit from the bench because the ocean and sky contrast so much.
One way about that would be to crop to the brown water in the ocean, which would create a more unifying frame by matching the color of the wood.
Another way would be to try to soften the horizon just a tad with gaussian blur and blending/opacity modes.
And I always add some adjustment layers to bump contrast and saturation just a smidge. My monitor is an uncalibrated lcd laptop, so I always have to be cautious with adjustments as my monitor is very deceiving.
Attached small example versions.
