A coherent set with clear intent. The light handling is the most assured element. The sequencing and a couple of weaker frames are holding the panel back from full Licentiate strength.
Composition
Frames 2, 5, and 8 are doing the heavy lifting here. The triangular composition in frame 5 is particularly assured - the leading line from bottom-left to upper-right ties the foreground rocks to the headland and gives the eye somewhere to go.
Frames 3 and 7 read as similar in colour, texture, and subject matter. Consider replacing one with something that contrasts in tonality or in scale - a wide vista or an intimate detail. The panel currently sits in one register and would benefit from a wider tonal range.
Technique
Exposure and white balance are consistent across the set, which is unusual and welcome. The light direction in each frame matches the time of day implied by the others, which keeps the panel feeling like a coherent shoot rather than a stitched compilation.
Cohesion
The thread is clear: light on water. Frame 6, however, doesn't pull its weight on this thread - the subject is interesting but the light isn't the protagonist. Consider whether it earns its place in a panel about water and light specifically.
