This is an unusual one for me. The format is small - A4 rather than my preferred A2 or A1. The crop is conventional rather than close. And the colours are naturalistic rather than wacky. But it is a birthday present for my dad, and I thought he would like it better this way - the subject is my mum.

I'm fairly pleased with it, but it has sparked off some thoughts about what directions I'd like to go in next. More on that later.
