The Gathering
I created this image previously as an entry into a stock photo competition some time last year. The treatments were pretty similar to what's produced, except it was done more in black and white tones. I simply nudged it into another addition to my Obstaculum series since it seemed more fitting.
It's a bit of a milestone today, because I actually ended up winning
the competition and my new addition to my home finally arrived this
morning (after waiting for almost 6 months)
- a 13 inch Apple Macbook! :D
Now I'll be able to start doing more work from home again and be able to pay a little more attention to completing this series, since I've been without a computer for ages.

excellent... funny you mentioned that it was not part of your Obstaculum series, as it seems very fitting, even if with different toning. I thought it was when I saw the thumbnail.
Oh yes, congrats on both counts.

Your butterflies drawn to the lone bulb in the forest is a brilliant (ooh! no pun intended!) concept! I'm so touched by this. And yet... There is no justice, not being able to fave this twice.
