AHH! I'm so happy you really think so! I've been taking nature shots constantly for about five months now and trying dark imagery was a challenge. It's one thing when you have an idea in your mind and another thing when you capture it on film.
I had to look up Neil Gaiman's Sandman, cuz it's been a while, and WOW, you really think so!? I really have no words to express how happy I am you like them. ♥
