On the second picture, back there, you should always try to pay better attention on where the light source is coming from in the picture ... In that one, the sun seems to be way in the horizon (behind the boat), and the shadows are against it ... (It's hardly noticeable either ...)
The pictures are very beautiful!
When I read the thread title I thought it was an adaptation of Star Wars with Egyptian playmo ...
Soooo, that's an idea
