I think this is a lovely photo, I like the way the sky mirrors the patterns in the wet sand and almost makes the entire image converge in the centre. I like the subtle colours throughout and the sunrise to the right looks great. Nice composition too, overall a really nice shot. Well done.

Mega reflections here, and a great location! I've a couple of small pointers for you, when shooting reflections like this try and keep all of the mountains in, you've clipped the top of the mountain in this one and it makes it look a tad imbalanced. Also, if you can avoid stray branches and foliage you'll get a much cleaner image.

This is a really beautiful image, I love the way you've processed it to have a soft vintage look. It's got lovely colours and the composition is nice. I'd maybe try to darken the highlights in the gap towards the left hand side as they are a little distracting but that's just a minor quibble on an otherwise fantastic image.
Those are some awesome reflections, slack tide is a great time for them as the tide's neither coming in or going out so is usually still ...... if it's not windy that is. You've caught some nice light on the trees to the right, this location reminds me of being in the Dolomites and photographing alpine lakes.

What a mad sunset! It's always the case, the best sunsets happen when the camera is tucked up at home in the bag. Still, they do say the best camera is the one you have with you and had you not had any then you'd not have a shot so be thankful! It looks pretty nice, for a phone shot the colours and details have been handled pretty well despite the massive dynamic range.
