lovely! is it your mum’s marmalade pan in the background again?!:)
Steve Sharp replied

Ha ha, er, yes it is (plus one or two others!) Think i may be overusing that one a bit actually!, but then it was the best sources of texture I have yet found ;)
Anthony Mancuso

Thankyou (again) Anthony, this abbey (which is haunted as well as haunting), is a treasure trove of photographic potential!

Yes, this resembles the work of Steve Sharp I know, dark, powerful and moody.
This way it is complete and perfect.
I like how the archway glows with subtle glowing power.

Many thanks Milos, yes a return to darkness again… my natural home I feel :)

Beautiful work Steve… The texture is wonderful and I love that lonely little tree.
Steve Sharp replied

Thanks Rebecca, I was glad that tree was there, it kind of anchors the image and gives it a bit of scale somehow.

J. Scott Coile

Your process really sets this well composed image off.
Steve Sharp replied

Thanks Scott; I didn’t think it had enough ‘straight’ so the texture process kind of ‘rescued’ this one for me.
