    “Dupain meets Street with a touch of grunge?” – brilliant – couldn’t have put it better. So way beyond cool it’s coming back as a flower shot – well you get my drift. Just gobsmacked yet again compadre – this is really seriously excellent photographic art.

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    LOL! A flower shot?? accckkkkkk!!!

    Mel, this is so cool. Your processing is again an original step forward. You have the most dynamic mind of anyone here on RB. Love the regimental shapes next to the human form, and your color space so works with this. Wonderful work!

    Never saw this before. For me, conjures up the novel/movie Death In Venice. Love your use of texture layer! A very smart image Mel!
