I enjoy your imaging and blog. Glad I found it.
Thanks very much, Doug.
A case of minimalist starkness that works just as it is – no more – no less. What I sometimes call a simple complication. . .
Thank you for the comment, John!
Beautiful and “pure” looking image.

I guess I don’t need to say how beautiful it is!
