Thanks for the praise and the info. He may be fatter than ususal as there is a lot of food at the fish-harbour of Scheveningen.

Do not worry. There were others nearby.
One more thing: you may be interested to know that I have three galleries on dA, with different purposes. Feel free to take a look at the other two, too:
