Hate to burst your bubble, but, hold the camera straight, please, just do it, 45 degree angles aren't cool. There was someone on this forums a while back who ranted about this woman who launched a "professional photography" website, when she shot with a kodak point and shoot, and did weird angles ALOT. Don't become that person. Don't over modify. Start with the cleanest image possible. Other than that, not bad grasshopper.

the resign for the tilt was because where i was if i shot it normally i would of had a big bush in my way so i decided to tilt it on that shot.

You could always take the photo tilted and then straighten it later on.

Take this to heart, jovencito.

I love the second picture. But that might just be because I have only been to the beach once. I agree about the tilted camera. It gets reall anoying.

Shoot a few hundred pictures... sift through them... then show us your best.

good Photographs capture a story, some stories tell better than others.

shooting at an angle can be very effective, for certain shots.

For a landscape (waterscape?) of the ocean, it just looks funny.

The shots are ok, but what are you trying to highlight in the photo? What is the meaning, focus, etc. Just a picture of a surfer? ok, then that is what you got. but it is just a snapshot. You need to get much closer and use a longer lens if you want to focus on the surfer. Check out https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/4474287/ as an example.
