Hello!

Thanks, you are very kind and I'm pleased my colour images have inspired you to do your own. Whilst I have my own way of doing things which have just come out of practice, as a general rule of thumb, I offer the following advice:

• Don't be afraid to add plenty of saturation - this is important because I see a lot of work that is really devoid of saturated colour, as a sort of strange cognitive reaction to seeing images with too much.
  
  
• More layers increase the perception of realism. For a face, I average about 14 layers of colour. Not the most efficient way of doing things, but the layering up is important, even on a near imperceptible level.
  
  
• It's worth exploring two areas beyond doing your research: the first is trying to understand how light affects colour on different surfaces, and the second is trying to understand how film emulsions affect the final luminosity - I see very little adjustments at the end to correct a washed out blue or a deeply saturated red. /u/mygrapefruit recommended me James Gurney's Color & Light a long time ago, and it's worth buying.
  
  
• Observe how cameras record colour nowadays and try to match it.
  
  
• Practice doing differently lit subjects, and different kinds of images. It really helps.
  
  
• Practice, and do it a lot. Apart from commissions, I have loads of unfinished or incomplete images where I was planning on just exploring a certain technique.
  
  And lastly...
  
  
• Have patience. This is your biggest asset and there is a temptation to rush on the background details, but it's ignoring those details that give it away.
  
  Cheers!

If you read his biography, you’ll find that he fell in love in college (aka UK high school) with another boy, Christopher Morcom, who died of bovine tuberculosis (from drinking raw milk) when he was on school holiday. Turing kept the memory of his first love alive, dedicated many of his triumphs to him, and the idea of recreating Christopher in a computer program surely led him to devise the idea of the Turing Test.

If you are interested in getting into management or any leadership role, I highly recommend you check out this book.

Robert E. Lee was an amazing general and a man with a lot of integrity. His leadership principles were extremely top-notch and still apply today -- they're timeless, actually.

I know some people will think, "He led the south and the south was for slavery so how can he be a great man?" Times back then were very complicated and the situation he was in at the time when he took on the role was equally complicated -- but he is considered a true American hero in every sense of the term.

This photograph was also used on the cover of Mary's autobiography, A Daughter's Tale - If you have some free time, you should read some of her work - it is a tremendous insight in to Britain in, and after, WWII.

I tried my darndest, and I couldn't for the life of me find the exact location of this photograph. Ontop of that, I'm not even sure that shoulder patch is correct, the closest I could find is this, but up-close that patch Mary is wearing still looks very different, so I went with a recurring theme - gold cross-over and copied the red/black patch. If anybody has information on the building and the patch, I would love to hear it!

It's a long book but it's so prophetic it gives goosebumps.

> Is best google is showing me for something to reference. My knowledge of it is from many years ago of i think it was history channel? doing remembrance day interviews with some Canadian D-Day folk talking about it. I don't believe it's been ever "announced" that the order was given, only that we have eye witness german/canadians stating it was the case, with this book stating the germans ended up finding on a dead captain orders stating as such.

> To quote another feller on parts of the book related to this. "Page 187 refers to the discovery, on the 8th June 1944, of valuable documents (radio documentation) found on the battlefield of Authie and Franqueville in a knocked out tank and a fallen captain. There was a coded map giving code names of all the villages together with the precise locations of armaments which had been supplied by a local French farmer. A notebook was also discovered which contained notes on the treatment of civilians and prisoners. According to these notes, no prisoners were to be taken if they might impede the attacking Allied forces.

> Page 303 refers to the refusal of captured Canadian wounded to be transported by amulance during daylight. When questioned they stated that Allied ground and air forces had orders to also fire on Red Cross vehicles as they were transporting Ammunition and supplies. Hubert Meyer categorically states that this was not true, in the 12 SS as well as all other units.
