The level of talent on display in round two is as invigorating and amazing as round one (and I suspect could go on for a number of rounds more without a dip in quality). Here is my humble second set.
1. Happy Kokanee - I was pretty happy with my underwater photography attempts, and this is a decent example of the results.
2. Hawaiian Lily - Taken in a pond behind the Punaluu Black Sand Beach, Big Island. I like the way the BG turned out.

I'm loving your seconds David, as I scrolled down the smile on my face just got bigger and bigger. Splendid work!!
Killers Mitesh, 2 is my easy pick, you nailed that sucker!
Terrific Dorian!!! Fabulous flyers
Looking fabulous Scott! I'm loving the giant mess o eagles The Snowy looks like someone stuck him there That isn't one of last season's Ballard Snowys is it?
Wow Greg, between 2 & 3 the storm really changed the place As much as I love 1 it's 3 that steals the show for me Greg, wow!!
Top notch work Paul, the awkward symmetry of the second grabs my eye and holds it
Real nice work Howard. The walleye needs a bit better eye contact 2 is a commanding shot, what and attitude!
The florals are a welcome break Dave, there aren't a lot on this thread but what there are wows! I almost put some up but... Anyway, killer set. The multidimensional aspects of 2 & 3 bowled me over, wow!!!! Top shelf
Real fine work Kent, the first is such a lovely fall shot, you really did capture the feel of the place, I can even smell the leaves!!
Oh my Socrate I'm laughing out loud from the last one What a character!!!!! The first is almost cartoonish in the carefree feel of the shot, wow! They don't get any better than this set my friend
Excellent triple play of the little ones Charles. Savannah's are a favorite of mine and yours rocks!!!!!

Great set Ken, what a wonderful variety from the underwater to in the trees. I have photographed migrating salmon up stream and understand the difficulty in that. You work with kokanee is top notch. Super set my friend!!!
Yes Henrik it's round 2. Do the big numbers confuse you Oh wow, I'm digging the Ram, the background is splendid!!! I would only expect the best from you and you did deliver
It's always interesting to see what you are going to pull out of your bag of tricks Tim. You present us with 3 more winners here. You KNOW I"m loving the grebes, super shot and with comp with compliments the reflection The coot is made me smile and the osprey is indeed intense. Killer
Super set Thomas! From the unique take on what has to one of the most photographed places on the planet to the bug in its own world to the purity of a butterfly amongst the blooms, really nice work Thomas!
Okay Birdie, 3 stunners! Oh my, the GBH as common as it is is presented marvelously, the spider is beyond words the egret is a double wow!!! You are too good
Kirk, go to the head of the class, take a day off with pay whatever. You get extra points for posting two favorites of mine Got to love that teal , your signature take on the stilt (who knew they weren't blown out white and featureless black ) oh and that Grebe, wow!!!!!! So that's how we are supposed to do this
Great set of eagles Kenny. I love the look in the eye of the first one What a stare!

What a stupefyingly gorgeous and utterly humbling thread this is. There are so many to-die-for images here that I just want to watch them keep coming. But, here are a few of my own just to add some balance.
The Snowy looks like someone stuck him there 
As much as I love 1 it's 3 that steals the show for me Greg, wow!!
