I have been shooting in the backyard the past few days and trying to develop a series of darker images. Not every image will work for the dark set, but in the process I have a collected a few keepers.

really gorgeous work you have displayed thought your site … I found you through Earth Shots – you’ve got today’s feature! Exquisite!
I also had a browse through your Africa set (it’s where I grew up) … goose-bump material
Loving your work
