they certainly don't make them like that in america. excellent images, love all of the shadows in the first, adds mystery. the whole series seems like it's taken by someone sneaking around trying to break out of the castle's dungeon.
Thank you folks, much appreciated. Dropped the saturation down to 50% for the thistle pics, looked at the in b&w, but they lost something. The dark room does contain something else, a pigeon; it is visible!
