    This is a stunner. Gee, I lóve bandstands and this is a very beautiful one. It almost looks like a temple. Fantastic how far I can look into this picture. It feels as if I am looking into a show-box – is that the right word in English? I can watch to the end of the world and the beginning of another one. You did miracles with black and white and tones. Snow? We haven’t got snow. Is it comimg our way?

    An image as delicate as the snow flakes floating in it. It’s especially enticing to me as we’re in the grips of a drought in Melbourne. You’re finished works are truly fine art Deb.

    Oh boy do I have a complaint about this image. Well not the image really because thats flawless. My complaint is to do with the lack of information. Where & when. I think I know the answers roughly but hey! Excellent portfolio very high standards indeed.
