    Lovely work, DragonFlyer. Love the light emanating from the hand, and the innocence you convey in the girl. Ah, many possible stories here. Well done!

    absolutely brilliant work, looks so very complicated to do! Bravo!!

  • DragonFlyer replied

    Thanks so much John! It was extremely complicated until I’d worked out how to do it… now it’s not really all that complicated at all! Though – sometimes an image just ‘comes together’ really quickly and easily, and there are other times that the various images I think will ‘work’ together just don’t quite seem to ‘flow’... :)))
