    I picked this...
    D4066706DCBD4188A2E31BAC4C1E90E4-500.jpg
    I wanted to select a picture that I felt would represent the more artistic strand of snaps of my collection but I also needed one that I hoped wouldn't alienate the casual viewer. A middle ground of personal satisfaction and general acceptance was where I was hoping to land.
    This picture was one that I thought about and worked on for nearly 3 weeks before the right conditions emerged. I was very happy with it, it was just as I had dreamed, and usually after considering a subject for so long by the time it comes to fruition I've tired of thinking and looking at it.
    This was one of the few that I haven't tired of.

    What do you think of this as an exercise in Monochrome Simplicity?

    A little more bokeh Cabansail :p

    I chose

    4005481646_cca6d0025b.jpg

    Actually lots of people chose it in a poll I held here because I went photo-blind looking at my years work... I like the simplicity and the feel of it but I'm never happy with my photos really :)


    Cant wait to see the book this year though, last years was awesome!
