Ugly Forest Path
30 July 2018 This was based on a picture on a birthday card. It was a good choice of subject material. But, as you can see, the execution was...

A Mexican Tree

Time Portal
11 June 2018 This is bad. Very bad. I still think the idea was a good one. A landscape on a nice day, but with a sort of lens in front of it...
Lightning Over Henley-On-Thames
