Mel, you keep blowing me away with your versatility. Each piece you do these days has a different and refreshing vibe to it, and the way you`ve procesed this so fits the scene… and your composition is perfect
And I`ve got to say the old boy is pretty photogenic (more often than not, great photographers aren`t for some reason), which is maybe a factor as to why your collaborative work with him has been such a success. Sometimes great talents come together to produce work that brings out the best in both and this has certainly been one of those cases. Is there more? Sure hope so!!
Andy Harris
super shot and treatment, the results are excellent – that Paul just doesn’t want to keep his clothes on when he’s around you…!
kipishiux

Charlotte Morison
Fantastic Mel, it reminds me of those old 80s music videos where the singer/character starts out in a magazine or book then comes to life and into the world!

Rhana Griffin
This brings to mind a quote from Chaucer in A Knights tale…
To trudge: the slow, weary, depressing yet determined walk of a man who has nothing left in life except the impulse to simply soldier on.
Exquisite treatment on this Mel…
