Running in the Woods

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 16 March 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

An abstract photo that I took yesterday in the woods that edge our village. It's partly inspired by one of my favourite photos by Edward Steichen: http://photos1.blogger.com/photoInclude/blogger/5406/570/1600/poi%20steichen.jpg

.


I've decided to have another go at the 'Cool Photoblogs' annual competition this year so I'd appreciate a vote from any of you who like my blog and who feel up to going through the registration process: http://vote.photoblogawards.com/photoblog.php?title=ian-bramhams-photoblog
