Sindri, these are all simply awesome. Having said that, the second image is in a class by itself. It's awe inspiring. This is more typically great work from you.

Outstanding, as always, Sindri. I love how you get into the water for your shots. Nobody else gets the perspective you do, and it really pays off. Love your work.
