Pirates Cove, Galveston

Finally got the computer up and running after an overhaul, so was able to do a few pics from a couple of weeks ago.
We were in Pirates Cove visiting friends of ours and decided to play for a bit.
Both are HDRs, with the last using a painted process.
Wasnt to happy with the first, the green light was giving me fits, so I just left it as it was for now, need to learn how to control this in the future. Any suggestions?

Both of these are beautiful. I like the first one; it looks almost like an alien invasion is about to land. I have no tips on processing though, sorry. Love #2 also.

Thank you for the kind comments. Those green fish light do have a strange effect about them. Should have seen all the fish in the water around those things. Might bring my fishing pole the next time Im down there.

The images look quite nice. What are the green lights in the water in the first one?

Thanks Michael and Scott.
Scott, those are underwater fishing lights. They attract small bait fish, and soon the larger fish (trout and Redfish) follow. As I was waiting on the sunrise, I sat there and watched larger fish dart in and out of the light just tearing up the baitfish. We have sat on the pier and caught a limit of trout in approx 1 hour one night.
