NYIP Assignment 2

It feels like a really, really long time since I spent any time focusing on my photography (no pun intended!). In the last 2 weeks I have completed my second assignment for my course. I should have submitted 3 photographs for assessment. However, I could not decide on the 3 to send so I chanced my luck and sent 5! I enclosed a lovely letter to my assessor asking her very nicely to take a look at all 5 and make the final decision. Let's see what happens!
