  • Brent Pearson

    Brent Pearson, about 1 month ago

    Hey Mel

    I think this is my favorite of the Dicky series. I love the colours of f/g and water as well as patterns in f/g sand.

    Sky doesn’t do much for me, but you can’t really control that can you… if the sky was different , your lovely lighting might not has been as nice.

    Great work.. sincerely

    BP
