  • UnEasy

    UnEasy

    I think the decision to post process the colors from the greens to the blues was inspired! a stunning image, and one richly deserving of being featured in Nirvana. The rewards of indulging the imagination, as here, promise neither rewards nor success, but when successful can be breath taking.

  • riverotter replied

    Kevin, thank you ever so much for your thoughtful comments! I truly appreciate the time you took, not only to view, but to offer such gracious words … best, and thanks, Emily
