    It looks strangely abstract and haunting in this shot, and I love the bokeh’d glowing item in the background, it gives it an extra dimension.

  • I guess it is because of the motion and not freezing the shot, Steve. And that glowing item as strange as it looks like is a background flower, i guess the dof was crucial here.

    It looks like a cross between a zebra and a bat, complete with the fur…quite mesmerizing and beautiful.

  • “He” was quiet patient while i tried to photograph it. I guess being out of his way helped a bit :)

    Amazing, almost an abstract piece. Love the perspective here.

  • So glad to hear that you like it.
    Many thanks, Andrew.
