Sash from Adelaide, Australia

This is outstanding. The model's carefree expression and subtle texture are a wonderful combination. Are the textures freely available for anyone's use or is this more of a personal 'transaction'?

@Sash: Thank you so much for your visit and kind comments on my photographs! :) Yes, the textures on flickr are free for anyone to use! :)

deeviate from Singapore, Singapore

thanks for the kind comments on my series Magda. looking through your collection, i envy your ability to capture such vibrant and telling snaps of children. I dont think I have that much patience but I am somewhat inspired to try again after your snaps.
