Thanks!

Both very nice, Dan but #2 is sensational.

Nice work Dan! I really like the water droplet of the bill

I love the water droplet on the beak of #1, and of course #2 is just exemplary!
If you could crop off enough from the top to lose as much of the dark edges top and right as you care to, it would make #2 a lot better, IMO. As it stands, it's a brilliant piece of work, Dan. :toast:

Thanks again! Great idea John on the crop suggestion. Thanks.

Awesome shots Dan! I really need to get my butt over to Belmar before it is too late to find these guys. I like both a lot.
