Nice work Dave, thats the kind of dog brings you for a walk !. The gulls shot reminds me of some Michael Kenna shots where he calls it say 35 gulls and you sit there looking at the image counting the gulls. I counted 16 on yours. The beach scene has lovely detais throughout.
Think we were talking about the same picture Eddie… LoL
Missed that in your post, its the kind of image he take a lot of, have seen a few in his books. His wife does a lot of wildlife photography which might influence him.
