Welcome Mario!  I suspect your 3 flats will quickly blossom into a large army, they seem to have that effect.

Thanks guys.Here are the 3 so far

1.- Dedicate to Adrian whom "twisted" my arm in Bath and certainly was brilliant suggesting this

2.- To Nick, his rendition of the fairies at EURO last year really inspired me to get this one

3.- This one is Roger's falt....his contributions on the now extinct The Basement and a chance encounter at the end of S&L brought this to life

Welcome to the forum Mario ;)

You certainly are getting the hang of flats, well done. Once you get your head around the shadows, it really does get easier.

Looking forward to your next one
