You are on a roll here, sir. I absolutely adore the first image with it's simplicity and symmetry.
Images like this (and most of your other work) should be seen far and wide, as far as I'm concerned.
Those clouds are pretty wild with a fine abstract like quality.

Great shot in #1---can't get any better than that :) Always love the cloud shots.

Like Morris said, pure art. Your wildlife images have an artistic quality to them that is hard to come by.

Love the cormorants! They're on the short list of birds I can recognize by silhouette, and it's amazing how the outline alone just shouts "cormorant." And the background seems perfect, rich color without crossing the line to gaudy.

Dude -- sweet shot of the cormorants! Just perfect!

Such an awesome shot in #1! As has been said before, pure art. (although I always think these birds are laughing at me... :biggrin: ).
Excellent!

#1 is like a fine art painting and 2 is simply beautiful. Great job!

Love the colors in both of these Dan. That is a very nice silouette of the Cormorants. Great work!
