Light : YOU try thinking about what its like to be accused of being Kira!

L : ... I feel awful.
:iconanubis9:
Your work is amazing!
I saw on Amazon.com that you posted your twin cover images of "Thunder and Ashes" and mentioned it makes a great desktop image. Any chance you can post it here in desktop size?
Keep up the great work!

Wow, thank you very much! Coming from someone with your gallery it means a lot indeed. In fact the timing of your note couldn't be better. I have propaganda posters on my mind. I have been mulling over what kind of posters might be produced during "World War Z"
I will try to post that desktop in the next day or two. Thanks again.

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. That was a very nice thing to say and I feel terrible that I was not around to respond more promptly. I took a look at your gallery and it is fantastic what you have accomplished on your own. I would only give you two peices of advice (and even then only because you asked).
Number one: I see in the pieces that you have uploaded that your composition is "straight ahead" and eye-level. I would encourage you to change the perspective here and there by "moving the camera around a bit" by composing your images from a low or high angle of perspective and by cropping your images tighter. Sometimes it can really and a nice dramatic tone when your subject is extremely close up or sometimes very small in the frame of your image. I really think that I only notice this about your images becasues it is something that I am trying to improve on for myself.
#2: I think that you must have a very fertile imagination because I see that you are able to present the story behind your images. I think that this has served you well. I would encourage you, regarding this, to follow it where ever it might take you – even if it is sometimes someplace you do not want to go. You have a lot of talent and I hope that you will continue to post so that we can watch you grow as an artist.
Bravo!
PS: Here is a link to the website of Jeremy Geddes (Australian I think) who inspires me to break out of my own comfortable habits of composition. I hope you find his work as interesting as I do.
Thank you for such a nice note. Keep in touch
-Chris
