'Hoopoos Spotted At Blackmarsh Reserve'




This is another early one I quite like. It was inspired by those birdwatching fanatics, my mum and dad. And of course, dad promptly informed me that real bird hides would never have a shelf on the outside. I reminded him what 'artistic license' meant. He didn't pick up on the fact that to get the look right, the man's binoculars were actually protruding several inches into his head. The shadows on the hide were quite a sucessful experiment, putting a bush model out of shot but just in front of the lighting.
