I was on the fence

but the fence broke under my fat azz. What do you guys think of this set
taken at a small lake in Arvada about 1/2 mile from my house

I forgot to clone out the sign on the right side and just realized it after posting it oops my bad

here is another one

I hope it wasn't a barbed wire fence Out of these 2 images I prefer the first one, it has more interest with the clouds in the sky etc. The 2nd one has a little too much green in the fg for my tastes, and the sky is pretty plain. Was there anymore colour to the clouds, or was this peak sunrise/sunset?.

I could't get any better lighting than this, it was just a few minutes later and it was gone. I actually did this for a class assignment and am wondering if it is good enough for my personal use

Depends on what you mean by 'personal use'.
They're nice enough documentary style shots.
