Captured the gloomy weather, and really like the white silhouette of the tree. Really expressive and impressive.

Alan I think you've cracked the brown paper problem, this is the way to go with it, what do you think? Even though you have left quite a bit of the paper untouched, it's got fabulous depth to it especially where the sky meets the ground.<br />I don't suppose any of that makes any sense!lol Anyway, I really like it.

A rough night in Notts but with so much skill in the medium, this stands out.

Fiona always makes sense and has the ability sum up things very eloquently. So I concur!
