That is certainly strange! Well seen and well captured, with a strong composition. I like the contract between the light and dark subjects, the simple and the complex, the rounded and the angular. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 1:37 AM,

Hi Guys, Thanks for the comments. The image was a simple BW render, not even contrast adjustments or cropping on this one. The model is in fact a bride and she was affable and stunning, very easy to shoot all day (13hrs all up). Cheers, Rob On 27 October 2014 11:45, J C OConnell
