The next suitable PAGB Awards assessment is being hosted by the...

Thanks for the reply Steve, have been away in Lake District so only just seen your post.

Ive come across the Orton effect before but not sure it works here for me...

Obviously the bold colours and symmetry attracted me to these 3 ladies (think it was a Mum and 2 daughters). This is a severe crop of the original. Not sure it has any merit b...
