The thundering of hooves signal the return of the Earl of Shrewsbury heading back to his home, Alton towers.

out of the alton towers exit, turn left, look for a sign for the chained oak b&b, right by the road is a gap in the stone wall with a path, about 5-ish mins walk down there.

I've been to Alton Towers many a times but yet, I still havn't seen the Chained Oak. From the pictures I gather it's beautiful.

Very cool manipulation. It immediately caught my eye with its tone and drew me in further with its perfect composition. Honestly, I could only dream of pulling off something this fantastic. It really looks larger than life, though I suppose that's fitting of an Oak.

So if I buy the print, will it have your watermarks all over them?
That question includes your email address.

My e-mail is my signiture -all artists have the right to sign their work. As for the Deviantart watermaks, they will not be on a print.

Yeah, thats alright, just a shame it is a bit bigger and seems randomly placed.
Still a good shot though.

Well first off I would like to say welcome back man hadn't heard from ya in a while! Second as always true with your art and Photography this is spooky as hell. I know its just a tree but man this thing gives me the willies. The colorset and tone of the exposure is what eggs the feeling on. Once agian as always superb work
