A rejected angel
Rejects, I have a few, but then again, more than enough to mention … When Egido asks for at first glance rejected photos I immediately thought of sculptures.

Lens-artists Challenge #381: Minimalism in Black and White Photography
Out of the green
Walking in the woods there are places where you come across a clearing and you hesitate. Where to go from here? Which corner to turn? Can’t turn that way! Let’s try the other corner. That’s a better bet. And then — Surpise! – As I … Continue reading Out of the green
