    Richie, this might possibly be my favourite, I know that it’s a ‘dark’ natured feel, but it ‘has something’ that I can’t really express with words, and I do go on so, in fact, if you feel I’m blathering on and on too much, please email me and tell me to shuttup will you? :-)

    All of your vibrant colors are outstanding, but this one is just perfect with the fade to black and white at the top. It really sets the scene. I love it.

  • richiedean replied

    I think we’re on the same wavelength Elizabeth, you’re the first to mention the mono fade. I appreciate your comment …... :))
