But it was worth the effort.
I love it when I can materialize an idea that pops in my head.

Bella, I admit, I did not recognise this as yours before I wanted to copy paste the URL and saw your name in it. Wow! You have really progressed. shadows match, emotion is strong and the composition awesome. I can't help but be amazed by what you can do and how much you've learned in this past year!
