These pictures are being posted in a chronological order to represent the gradual sunrise as seen by me on a 10km long beach called Mondarmoni(West Bengal, India).

Hi, Sohini! I didn't know you lived in India! Anyway...
1. This one's too big, I can't really see it all that well. Sorry.
2. Very cool. The water looks like silk.
3. Another very nice one. Although I would rather not see so much sky...
4. Wow. The sun is amazing in this one! I still think there's a tad too much sky, though.
5. This one isn't my favorite. I like the contrast of the bright whiteish sun and the deep, red-orange sky and water, but I don't like the fact that the horizon is tilted... it feels like the photo is only gorgeous because the actual thing was gorgeous, you know? I don't feel like the photograph compliments its subject.
6. Love the sky!
7. This is alright--again, the horizon is slanted.
Beach sunrise/sunset pictures are so cliché, but yet they still have magic. Good job! I love number 2 and 4!

I did part two before part one! So... here I am, at your service.
Right...
1) This one is very nice; soft and friendly, but I find it a little boring, like it lacks something. I reckon more of an angle on the sea would help here.
2) Very nice. I am in love with the cool refelction you have going here. The tide is a great, warm effect.
3) Gorgeous. I love the sun as it changes gradient. I agree with Azila, there is a lot of the sky here and not much sea.
4) Beautiful sky; but this one seems a bit cold. I guess that can't be helped though .
5) This is my favourite. I love the warm, hot feeling and I find the reflection just breath-taking.
6) This is an interesting angle, but I find the amount of sky irritating. Having said that, I still find it lovely. 7) I love the reflection, if a little slanted, but I would be happier if I saw the sun and a bit of sky here though. Good job!
Yes, they are cliché but this is just a bit of photography. I loved all of this, great going here!
I like the depth and color in the first one. Although the dawn looks a little pale to me, it's very nice. In this shot, the outwards-ness of the sand really works. To make it a little better on these sorts of shots, you might have wanted to lower the camera a little more to catch more depth. Just a small suggestion, but it really is a fantastic picture.
The second one I would definetly frame!! It's totally amazing! The colors...are perfect. I don't even have anything else to say other than: Excellent job!
I would frame the third one, too. It's awesome. I like how the sun isn't totally in the middle of the photo. Very nice. Same thing with the fourth one.
The fifth one has amazing colors, too. I don't really like all the foreground you put in, however. It's just a personal thing, I know others love that sorta thing, but I think it takes away from the water and sun. I would have highered the camera just a little.
Number Six has an awesome sky. The picture, however, looks a bit sideways...It just looks like the horizon is sloping downwards. The sky is absolutely amazing, though.
The 7th one looks a little sideways as well, but I think it works better for this sort of picture. I can kinda see where the sun is, which is nice, and the colors are fabulous, again.
Amazing work!
Keep on taking photos,
