Jeff Burns, 12 months ago

shadow is awesome love the light Fantastic

Martin Derksema, 12 months ago

What a beautiful building this is. I can almost smell the moist stone and earth. Love the tunnel effect with the light at the end. The subtle little cross at the end adds a lot of symbolic value to this image. You worked so carefully with the light. Which results in the fact that now the architecture of the building is even clearer and more beautiful. The silent interaction between Abe and his shadow is again a great example of how you transform ‘ordinary events’ into important moments. Pfew … a beauty again, Deborah.

toots, 12 months ago

Jacq Wilson, 12 months ago
