Testimonials: "I like the images of Harewood House that David has taken - the exposure, clarity and composition of the pictures is spot on; better than the professionals I have seen!" Colin Jones, Waterhouse Photography - 6 MPA Awards "Nature's beauty lies all around us, even in the modern day urban jungle. Image manipulation doesn't feature a lot in David's repertoire, just a good, old-fashioned eye for the subject, whilst utilizing modern technology to capture the moment and share it with his audience." Tony Wiese LRPS, Wakefield "David's got the eye for photography -- grasps the concept of composition intuitively and doesn't waste time just snapping shots and then wading through them to luck upon a good one. He saw it and then caught the shot. It's rare talent, and I admire him very much as an artist." Toni Medford, professional and classically trained fine artist, Florida, USA
