From Boy Towards Man

by davidstorm

This image is meant to symbolise my Son Ben's journey towards adulthood. He is on the left, looking through the archway at the entrance to Royal Holloway University, almost as if he's contemplating stepping out of his dark and drab teenage school world, into a new land of hope and experience where he will change from Boy to Man.

If that's a bit deep for you it's just a photo looking through the entrance at Royal Holloway University.

A noble pile, David. Very well handled dynamic range.
Best wishes,

October is an exciting, an anxious, and a thoughtful time for so many people of his age. Good luck to him and his contemporaries. I can still remember going up the steps into my new undergrad world, just 65 years ago!

Shari decided to take a gap year so it'll be another year before we see such a view! Nice one David!
