Fascinating on so many levels! The bands create interest but it is the slant and the colour of the eye and the slit of the pupil eye that are captivating. A wonderful image for the theme.

Perfect match to the lyrics Vin60 and such a beautiful photo :) Really well done!

And this is where I grew up

I love the composition and the detail of all the branches. It looks like a very challenging walk and the sepia gives it a bit of a haunted feel.
