This series is just so stunning. I would hang this framed photo on my wall (I would want a large, poster size though)!

P.S. Do you mind if I use this as my laptop background? Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

  Feel free to pick the size you need. If you ever print any, pick "original size", for the absurd 35MB and 60MB files. With that resolution, you can print at 2m x 1.5m and still be at face distance to see detail:
