    Hi Kathie,
    It would appear that the melaleuca tree is a source of much of your photography, not that that’s a bad thing. Nice texture.

    He must come from a very cold climate cause he’s wearing a lot of skins or maybe they’re are trophies.
    Excellent image Kathie :-)

    This is so archtypal, primal and Jungian. I can’t explain it any better, but these are the associations I get.
