Great light and composition.

[Clare Gadsby]

appealingly weird

[Wendy]

Well composed shot against the darkness!

@summerfield no clue about the challenge... I generally assume that when taking a photo it should be clear what the subject is which is usually helped by ensuring it stands out from the background... but really - what do I know!!!🙃

[Mona]

Love the subject and how you used the light. Excellent.

[Helen Jane]

your comment to @summerfield is interesting because that is what I thought - but wondered if I was missing something obvious. Oh well.

This, is a great use of light and shadow for a dramatic effect.

[Faye Turner]

This is really wonderful! Love it! fav

Hi, I have a favour to ask. My, self inflicted, picture of me theme this month is imitate an icon. Your style is iconic, and I'd like to have a go at recreating this with your permission please.

[☠northy]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond thank's Jackie - i'm not really sure what to say though... other than of course you are free to re-create... i'm glad if i can be of inspiration, although the thought of being "iconic" makes me kinda squirm...

[JackieR]

@northy don't squirm, I'll change the title!! Oh and thank you
