Very nice series; looks like some cold water.

Number four is pretty neat. From that angle it looks like that factory smoke stack is creating the clouds that wrap around the rest of the top of the frame.

Very nice shots.

I love #4! It looks like a cloud factory!

Thanks guys!

One from yesterday and some from this evening although the conditions were very different this evening. I utilised the fact that I have a D800 as well as a D800E and switched on Long exposure noise reduction, as cloning hot pixels is a right pain, switching cameras while waiting for the other one.
