It's been ages since I posted anything – Christmas has come and gone, as has the new year – and I suspect that I wont be posting something every day for a little while yet because a) I've had one of those colds that leaves you feeling as though you've been run over by a steam-roller, and b) I have a busy few weeks at work coming up. As most of you know Libby and I are going to be running chromasia as a full-time venture from the end of January onwards, but until then I'll still be working at the University – mostly trying to catch up with all the things I should have done during the tail end of last year. Anyway, come January 31st, things should start to settle down and I should have plenty of material to post. I'll also have time to get on with the long-promised tutorials ;-)

As for this shot: it was taken this afternoon on Fleetwood beach: Rhowan is on the left, displaying her usual fearless approach to the world, and Harmony on the right, being just a little bit more cautious than her sister.

And finally: I'd like to wish you all a belated Happy New Year :-)

Nothing special, but color tones looks nice.

so cute

comment by mooch at 08:53 AM (GMT) on 4 January, 2007

Happy New Year. Could almost be a clone image were it not for the enitrely different stances. I rather like it. Would a little less sky bring a little more intimacy? After all, it is a little drab and there does seem to be rather alot of it.

Here comes Chromasia back, at last :o)
This picture is a good one, as usual.
Happy new year and go on showing such pictures.

A really nice simple, but highly effective shot to kick off 2007 which I'm sure will be an incredible success for Chromasia.

Happy New Year,
Keith

Lovely and colourful picture. Wish you all the best with Chromasia and your family off course. This will be also the year of a new little Chromasia in the family ;-)

comment by Manuel W. at 12:41 PM (GMT) on 4 January, 2007

Have you planned how Rhowan and Harmony should be dressed on this photo?
I like the saturation.

comment by cyril at 01:04 PM (GMT) on 4 January, 2007

First I want to wish you a Happy New Year with all the happiness and health to your family.
Regarding the shot, I really like the mood and the colour but I think that the square format is not the one I would have chosen since the part of the sky is too important

comment by Alice at 01:45 PM (GMT) on 4 January, 2007

Great photo. The girls' colorful sweaters add a lot to the photo. Have a great New Year and I look forward to seeing more of your excellent work!

comment by Jorge at 02:12 PM (GMT) on 4 January, 2007

And now we can say the new year is here.

comment by Richard Trim at 07:11 PM (GMT) on 4 January, 2007

I bet Harmony too , has her moments of adventurous daring!

Great shot to express their extrovert and introvert emotions at that moment in time ...

extrovert and introvert
