    Woa, brilliant work Anthony! This screams “POSTER”! There is a sense of loneliness you have captured here but somehow when you look further into the image, you see balance (or I do anyway!) :)) Fave! Love this style!

  • Anthony Mancuso replied

    When I was playing around in PS with lighting, it would give off different atmospheres as I was doing it. One minute it was sunny and a happy image, the next, dark and gloomy. I think I settled for something in between ; ) Thanks, as always, Vicki
