In the sytle of Bill Brandt without question. If the sky were darker it would remind me of his work around Halifax.

You should drop in to Dean Clough Mills. Last time I was there they had a few Bill Brandt originals hung in one of the Galleries. Although that was a few years back.

I use a Bill Brandt picture in my talks and often comment that he wouldn’t do well in a camera club competition due to the lack of shadow detail. Its heretical to some judges and partly why I don’t do competitions any more.

Thanks for your comments that is exactly the reason why I gave competitive photography many years ago. Andy

Absolutely wonderful image, Andy – and the colours in the sky (toning?) really make it. I’m also a huge Brandt fan. Adrian
