      These shadows and the backlighting are beautiful! Incredibly atmospheric.

      Beautiful -- looks almost like a pen & ink line drawing. Great work!

      A beautiful rendering. The shadows in this image seem to really set the mood. I like the sepia aspect also. You never post anything I'd consider ordinary, always extroardinary.

      Really does look like a pen and ink. Lovely shot.

      Referring back to your earlier posts re lost joie de photographie -- Doesn't this weather stink? Was this not the most gray and colorless 5 months EVER? No wonder we've lost our photographic zest .... I'm looking out the window at BLAH. Good day to go the Philadelphia Museum of Art and shoot inside there ... now there's an idea! Take your wife and go! Assuming work is letting up a bit ...

    21. mikonT (51 months ago | reply)

      Pam, that's a great idea! Design work is now manageable, maybe I'll do that tomorrow or as soon as I get my new lens. Yeah, I just ordered a break-the-piggy-bank Nikon 17-55mm, 2.8. Hope I have enough $ left for gas to get down there. :)
