These are absolutely beautiful and it would have been a shame to give up on them. Timing is everything. Can't discount them due to that experience. Glad you've given them the opportunity to be seen and how you'd want them to be seen. Thanks for sharing your work and experience.
Thank you, @comealong. I appreciate your encouraging words. Timing is everything. I guess it wasn't the right time for that book, but it's not too late.
