    Some of the initial pictures come off bright (probably due to the computer) but they are all excellent photos. The paintings are great. "Decay in all its beauty" and "the storm inside" are my favorites. Decay is an awesome contrast of coloring, storm inside is perfect.
    Wind this thing up.

    3 pictures side by side? I like the texture in the photos.
    Wind this thing up.

  • AafkeAafke Posts: 1,219
    Yes indeed three pics side by side... I'm not that excited about this one, çause you can see in the lightning of the pictures sides that they are glued together. I think this is a better attempt.

    I don't know the b&w one made me look at it for a while to see what was going on. It is very interesting and shows the texture of the castle better imo. The second b&w one looks like a qhostly body at the end of the tunnel.
    Wind this thing up.
