Hi everyone! Miss me? Whadda ya mean no!!!!!

Anyway, sorry im not about much these days - too much time out shooting and the rest of it spent with my girlfriend (or should that be the other way round???). Anyway, back to the pic...

I have had this idea in my head for some time, and have had the shots sitting ready for the time that i could finally pull it all together. So here it is. Influenced by my love for surrealist art and Rene Magritte, as well as my love for my local landscape. A combination of dreamscape and landscape.

As ever, view on BLACK

It's far too photorealistic to invoke Magritte, methinks. My first reaction was that he was a character from a Vetriano. But anyway, I reckon it does exactly what you wanted it to, from what you had in your mind. A rather nice, not-too-surreal-at-all idea turned into 'reality' on my computer. I like it. (but then I like Magritte and Dali, and Vetriano, and Seurat, and.. and... and...).

Nice one Paul, nice to see you back. Linn dont suggest crops he is our verturama expert. 2 or images stitched vertically to give a square image.

Hey Denny! How's tricks?

(btw, its Vertorama, not Verturama, but hey, its not worth being picky about it, lol)

At least i knew! Just warning the cropmeister we have now (Linn) everything gets considered for the chop!! He is cool though and gets stuck in.

Hiya Paul

Have you tried tantric yoga? Or joining the Foreign legion? Or....I understand Madonna is free, and Dennis has passed on her this time....

To be serious, an interesting image you have there, which has all the hallmarks of you.

But even without warning, I didn't. I'm sure you know why. This is the composition of an artist.

Check out Pauls Gallery, and you will see why a) i knew and was joking and b) i believe you knew

I hadn't seen Pauls gallery before. Just confirms it. He's an artist.
