zombizi prime [deleted] says:

when you compare this with the other shot, the artfullness is apparent - the words are great, but presumably not yours, so that would have been a dgap, but the shadows and textures, and particularly that sinister dark corner make this a pop for me...

bdadada - I'd be more than happy to shoot a roll of Bristol graff to have Newcastle over the top. There are some Bristol bits that would be especially suitable....
