A successful wander I'd say!

I like the pseudo-symmetry in the first very much and think it's a great composition. And I like the straightish B&W treatment. I also really life the leaves - it has much of your dark flowers touch to it. And the last one really works very well and it is not until you study it closer than you realise that the frame is tilted - very cleverly done.

I like the other two also but I think 1, 2 and 5 are the strongest. I like the split of blue and yellow tones in the falling shot and the graves is a nice B&W study with the patches of light and the gargoyles.

Thanks, Pete. I was pleased with the leaves and the boy. I was thinking of you when I took the first, and when editing it. But I just couldn't bring the Askew magic to it

The last one & leaves does it for me & brill treatment. Also the first with different things going on, that squiggle looks like a female face.
I thought the not dead lady had a whip upon closer inspection just a roller.

Thanks, ahmad.

 

[Paul Lange]

All good Rob but the leaves are particularly good and as Pete says, similar to your flowers that I really liked too.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Paul. Much appreciated.

Funky set there Rob, I see a 'Pete' influence in the first one..... He has that effect on people.
Well done
