Great Set Steve! After looking at the Sea Gull, I look at the shoreline shot and I'd swear the waves were actually moving towards the shore. Quite an Illusion!! l.o.l
The 2nd is my favorite from the set, although all are well done!
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Nice shots. All are beautiful, if you add some vignette to the forth one it would look miniature.

Steve, they're all spectacular, but your 2nd image is phenomenal! I love how you composed this - the colour zones are spectacular.
