Thanks, Georg...yes...I am doing well. Business is up, looks like we have a bit of a turnaround. I was approached by a gallery who wants to show my travel work so I am preparing for a show/reception. Upscale area with potential.

From a macroeconomic perspective, I would not think there is a turn around in sight at all, but I am glad to hear you are well! Good luck dealing with the gallery!

They are very nice seascapes and the title is well chosen.

If you allow me a small technical comment. I am very, very picky about the horizon being horizontal and I noticed that it very slightly drops to the right on picture #4:
.

I feel a bit ashamed to write such a mundane comment on such good pictures, but I know from experience that some people see such tiny differences much more easily than others. Most people would not notice but to me and maybe to some at your potential customers it really jumps at first sight and is distracting.

Thanks Jerome, much appreciated.

No reason to feel ashamed.

Let me explain, none of the pictures shown here would make it into the print cue. They do not represent the standard I set myself for print work by a long shot.

What you see here are some examples from a experimental two day shooting using ND Grad and circ. pol Filters to achieve longer exposures, then I was playing around to see what I can do to fit the theme that I had on my mind, sound of silence, and whether this could be an interesting project to pursue.

So at the end, you have no reason to feel ashamed, and I feel no reason to correct something probably in the range of 0,2 degrees showing a 400 pixel ~ proof of concept.
