My real name is Andrew, and I'm thirtysomething, living in Yorkshire, England. I work as a gardener at a large country house. BIOI've drawing and painting ever since I can remember, usually fantasy or sci-fi subjects but I'm not averse to doing the occaisional landscape or whatever else pops into my head. I'm also a keen photographer and having just moved to digital this has opened up all sorts of possibilities!
I tend to do most of my work on the computer now, rather than on paper, using Truespace for the 3D stuff and Photoshop for everything else.
When I'm not being creative at the computer I'm heavily - and I mean 'heavily' into astronomy! Most clear nights will find me outside with my telescope (a computer controlled 10" dob) until the small hours of the morning! I haven't got into astrophotography yet, but it's on my to do list!
As you may have noticed I'm influenced/inspired by the following artists/musicians:
Rodney Matthews
Salvador Dali
Hieronymous Bosch
Chris Achilleos
Boris Vallejo
Clannad
Iron Maiden
Mike Oldfield
Jean Michel Jarre
Kate Bush
Vangelis
And many,many more. ;)

Please do more like this as you will find it changes your approach to photography. My suggestion is to tone done the contrast just a little so you bring in detail in the lower left hand area on the highlights of the straw, including the area just above the nail where the straw too has lost some of its detail. Though the photograph is excellent in colour, try converting it to B/W and give it a soft duo-tone with a secondary colour of Pantone 400. You might be surprised. This photograph lends itself well for B/W because of its classical composition and especially its subject matter. Thank you for sharing. egmont
