A 'mild' composite featuring Abigail (who was caught in a bit of a squall) and part of the Yorkshire moors that have appeared previously in my pictures. For those that know Yorkshire, this is right next to Ribblehead viaduct.

In my short time here, you are doing some of the best work I have seen come out of the UK.

Thank you Fotoartist, that’s a big compliment (not sure it’s too accurate, but I’m happy to accept). Very kind of you.

Your work is magnificent.
It might be right next to the viaduct but it's a considerable distance to The Marton Arms, which I think is the closest pub.

Thanks Bob. Were you walking? It’s about 15 minutes by car - which isn’t bad considering the general remoteness around there!

Love that you have just one figure in that very scenic countryside. Eye-catching and enjoyable result! She looks awfully happy for getting drenched, though

I thought about doing something about that smile Linda, just couldn’t bring myself to change it! Thanks for your comments, they're appreciated.

Magnificent work. Your technique is superb and I wish I had your imagination. I had a girlfriend like Abigail once who just loved walks in the rain, she would probably have had a smile like that.

It's just as well you told us it was a composite. If you hadn't I'd have been indignantly reprimanding you for putting the poor model through such discomfort

Thanks Curmudgeon, I think we’ve mentioned my imagination previously, it’s the hardest part of a composite for me. I tend to get a general idea but the details are lacking, and that makes it difficult. I search art a lot as inspiration - John William Waterhouse’s ‘Boreas’ helped in this case.
Abigail withstood everything an April English day could throw at her and impressed me immensely. Her co-model, Francesca, did well too but couldn’t help but look frozen-through. What models have to put up with, eh? Your ex-girlfriend would have made a good one.

.I’m afraid she did suffer a bit RG - I’ve commented on how well the models withstood our weather in answering Curmudgeon, above.
