I am impressed with the photos, Margret; especially the first one of the beach at Port Douglas in Queensland.
Have you been taking lessons from Colin Prior?

I also like the way that KSH has tweaked the photo to lighten the shade in the foreground. That is the beauty of digital photography; providing you are in the right place to take a photo, and frame it well, the colours and saturation etc can be modified to your liking later.
