Image taken this weekend on the Coast of South Louisiana. I really thought this was a good name for this one since seafood is a huge part of Louisiana's Economy. ;)

This is gorgeous Jude! And it must be even better when printed huge. So just print it, hang it and enjoy it for long!

This boat looks like it might sink under the weight of all those birds! Nice capture Jude.

This is really stunning, Jude! Beautiful sky, sun position relative to the boat, and the seagulls really add life to the image. Magnificent!

Cool image, Jude. Those birds are just waiting for the nets to come in so the feast can begin.

Very nicely exposed and composed. The boat leading into the picture and the sun in the background. Very pleasing to the eye.

Drop Dead Gorgeous Jude. The wee gulls are a tremendous bonus too.

Wonderful shot of a scene typical of the Gulf Coast. The sky and water are beautiful, but I also like the details of the working aspects of the shrimp boat: the working lights, running light, antennae, and the double-triangle navigation aid (forgotten the technical name). Congrats on the EP.
