Thank you, Djoe, the photo was taken at 7 pm in the evening in my back garden, the sun was still pretty high in the sky and the sun was slowly setting, it cast a pink reddish hue which reflected on to my stainless steel square sheet which I use as part of my photo setup.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK

I had been reading that synthetic brushes have come a long way since the last time I had tried one. And with me travelling much more lately, I thought I'd give synthetic another shot due to their quick dry times. This cheap little Omega caused the lather to explode with minimal effort. Might have to try some different synthetics in the future.
