Description I tried so hard. But that fifth cormorant just did not want to stand in line and to spread his wings too! Nothing doing ...
Taken near the Buelk Liighthouse on the outer Kiel Fjord.

The gull looks as though he's a little agitated because the fifth cormorant didn't have it's wings out.
Good picture.

Well, it did not tell me. Instead, it chose to fly away ...!

It probably was either intimidated or jealous.

Perhaps we just have too much imagination. What about dreaming about its girlfriend ... ?

That is a lovely reaction and suggestion. Many thanks for that! Unfortunately I am not in the print business yet. Perhaps I should get started ... ???????????????????? But with the three galleries I would immediately need to have three print accounts ......... One might start with this gallery, though. What do you think when looking at my stuff? Will it really be worth it??????? What are your own experience with print selling in DA?

DA is a waste of time. Landscape prints don't sell here, DA is really about Goth, Anime and Nudes. Do look into professional print services though! DA is really just using EZ Prints (I am told). But right now the top online printers seem to be adoramaPix, DotPhoto and MPix. Landscapes sell best to tourists visiting your area. Your work is wonderful, try a few of your best shots as prints, get them matted and framed and see if you can get a local hotel or resturant to put them up with your card behind the glass (maybe even a price tag, and they get a percentage). I even have a local resturant/bar that takes a DVD of mine and runs it on the big screen TV as 'atmosphere'. I use a program called 'muvee' to animate my stills into about a 10 minute video. I am retired, so making a lot of money is not my goal, but paying for some of the equipment would help

Did I already thank you or did I not? Flooded with messages on all three galleries, I must admit I lost the oversight. So forgive me please if I did not yet react. It is such a useful piece of advice that you have given. I am very glad with it and shall bear it in mind!
