We grabbed a day bus tour to Giant's Causeway on a whim. We had a total of two hours here which seemed more like 15 minutes. It's a spectacular place.

A location I know well. I see you encountered "Irish Light" :) I like the composition and choice of shutter speed. A boos to the contrast in the foreground could assist in bringing out the shapes and tones in the basalt.

I would really love to visit this place! I like the overall cool tones and feeling of the image. It has quite a surreal look, especially with those interestingly shaped rocks. Personally, I feel that the land mass on the left horizon detracts quite a bit. This image is so surreal and mysterious and soft. The land mass opposes that. Overall, though, really nice one!

Lovely shot, I really like the feel of this.
Re. the composition, to my eye the left-hand jutting promontary is a little distracting - perhaps you could pull the comp in a little from the left. This might also make a better leading line focusing on the causeway rocks in the middle distance mid-left.

This is great!
I love those f/g rocks and a nice match with the long exp for the misty water.
I did read the comments regarding the left side land mass....I am undecided on that...After having just blocked off the left hand side leaving just the f/g rocks and water, I feel it is better with the land mass included. So, I'd leave it as is.
