Description
She rides forth in the eerie twilight of the Badlands, her black steed in a thundering gallop, the wind howling, the shrill sound of her battle cry echoing across the wastelands. Black wolves race along beside, ravenous for the hunt and adding their howling to the fearsome cacophony. It is a sight and a sound to strike fear in the hearts of men...blackhearted men. For she is the Dark Valkyrie, and unlike the other daughters of Wotan who ride forth from Valhalla to gather back there the souls of fallen heroes, her quest are the souls of dying warriors who are indeed no heroes...she seeks the murders, backstabbers, and perfidious cowards who blacken the name of true warriors. They will witness her mortifying gaze and know retribution for their nefarious deeds...

I tried to get into the "scary" feel of this, but my brain is tired - lol... I just see how sexy she looks on the horse and wonder how long she's been riding... her eyes hint that she's in pain, I bet she'll walk funny when she gets off the horse - lol... that's the mood I'm feeling, I like this image a lot, sexy, dark, moody and ya kinda know she's got to get off that horse some time - lol

the dogs beautifully placed, the painterly backdrop superb, the light perfect the horse powerful but sits in place behind her visually this is stunning Marco perhaps a small highlight of some sort in the bottom left corner just to lift it a little the dodge and burn tool in photoshop set to dodge highlights by 10 or 15% just lightly waved over the ground down there would lift that area just a smidgen like it is behind the horse's back legs..... other than that this is a fantastic image that you should be very proud of well done Carl sorry couldn't help myself :)
brycek
