Fragments
An isolated shoreline which runs alongside crumbling cliffs and lush rainforest. These large sea stacks stand like an ancient ruined city, creating a sense of mystery which easily provides inspiration. Although this sunset had some nice colour, I felt the natural contrasts and gradients best suited a monochrome rendering. The South Island is truly a land of contrasts.
