Overlook




Overlook
Islands Off Solitude
From a higher place looking out above the gulls. A hard place to find on the islands I am remembering.

    1. They’d make a pretty good dream, though, in my dreams they would be far less defined. I let reference images of the models take control here.
      Thank you

  3. Wow...what a view...and they seem to be in full sunshine too!
    To be up there with the gulls is my personal paradise. I just love gulls.
    Many thanks:)

    1. Yes the view, though an afterthought, I think would have worked without so many figures. The sunshine on the back of the woman facing away would have been more powerful. And of course there have to be gulls in the islands off solitude☺
      Thank you
