    Great stuff Mel. Combining with texture is such an art form. You’ve done it so neatly here without it looking you know, too contrived.

    I keep coming back & looking at this….. being that I’m not a critic am am not so good with words I can’t really tell you what it is that I love so much about this. But I’m with Paul…. there’s a real surreal quality to this that I just love…..something about the colour & light….
    This is a masterpiece to be sure. I’m with everybody else….. more please!!!

  • Anne  McGinn

    Anne McGinn

    wonderful comp – delightful – and the tones and texture….. well, I could stay up all night trying to achieve this ( and often do…) and mine won’t come close. How do you create that matted muted dulled look? (that is a serious question… btw)

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    I lower the contrast and the saturation….

    Love this Mel. It has the ambiance of The Son of Man and Nighthawks with that distinct Brackstone creativity.
