Queensland Landscapes for Your Opinion

I would appreciate any comment on these three images taken recently. Two are near my home, Noosa area & the lake scene is at Lake Awoonga, just west of the highway near Gladstone. Worth a look if you are passing that way.

The Noosa Coast Guard tower was shot at midday, not the best time, but the light was so clear and the cloud sucked me in. :)
The sunset was on the Noosa River with the summer sun coming through some bushfire smoke. Very eerie.
Lake Awoonga was treated in PS with dual hue & saturation layers. The top one being desaturated 100% and all adjustments done on the layer below(blend mode = color). For a bit of fun, try this and then turn off the top greyscale layer & see what a mess you made of the colour layer.
Thank you

4th one is most interesting because i find the tree in the lake intruiging growing
it woudl probably work better if you re-cropped to emphasise the tree more

the 1st pic is shot just off the main beach at Noosa right?

The tree was dead and therefore sufficiently ghostly, but the strong sunset lighting helped a bit. I have others of just the tree. All seem good.

The Coast Guard tower is just in the channel from the main beach of Noosa, yes.
Thanks Guys for the words
