My contribution to @vincentisvintage.bsky.social 's #dtiysgreatgatsbyiie ! This turned out to me a great exercise in studying backgrounds and lighting for me, so thank you!!

user Vincent-Is-Vintage's designs for Gatsby and Nick (The Great Gatsby) stand in Gatsby's manor's gardens together, smoking cigarettes. Gatsby is saying something and smiling, while Nick looks down, smiling as well. A statue of a women sitting over a fountain stands behind them, framing the bay and the green light from Daisy and Tom's mansion across it.
