    Absolutely gorgeous.
    Your work is like walking into a storybook. So peaceful and vivid and rich. I swear I can hear birds chirping quietly in the distance.

    This is mystical and amazing. Your images are soo smooth and fresh. I have read your threads on ILP and was wondering about the “background silkening” you once mentioned. Do you know where I could follow up with that?
