Description
I put a frame around this because I posted it first at a site with a black background. Wondering what it will like here with the white bg.
Also seems that I have the shields mixed around. The Roman on the ground whould have the kneeling shield while the German/barbarian should have the round. Thanks to Professor Hopalong for that history lesson ;)
This is what happens when you let artistic license take over :) Lol!
I'm off to see Path to Terabithia with friends today. I'm hoping that it is a fun, fantasy get away for the afternoon. Enjoy your week ending!!
Btw, this looks SO much better on a black background. ROME

excellllllent ;)
stunning image most excellent we are not worthy
I'll assume that in the midst of the fray, both combatants dropped their shields and picked up whatever they could find. There, guess that explains the shield mix up. :-) Excellent work Nancy!
Magnificent scene of action! Fantastic!!!
Outstanding!
Great image. I actually like the frame...it finishes it nicely. Good job.
Surperb - love the dark moody colours and sense of movement.
The blur in the BG does make it stand out in the FG much better. Maybe as one would, Exhausted from the days lingering battle would be having blurred vision and near collapse, Excellent Work Nancy!!! 10+++++
Great as always Nancy.... You are a quality production monster... have fun seeing " bridge to Terabithia ",, have a wonderful weekend...
This is a fabulous action scene, Nancy! I don't care at all whether it's hysterically correct. Who's to say which unfolding of history this represents? Super Job!!
very good image.. in battle they just took new shields if their own had fallen, so .. that is the excuse you have next time :)
Outstanding!!!
All for artistic licence here - Fantastic image with an overwhelming sense of drama! Most excellent work!
the shields fell on the ground, and they take the shielsd up that was the most close to them. great action scene!!! Beautiful job!!!love the sky!!!
Hope you enjoyed the movie. This is a fitting image since 300 is coming out soon. Well done!

impressive and very dramatic,perfect atmosphere in this excellent action scene,as always wonderful work Nancy************Hugz and have a wonderful weekend :)
Absolutely stunning work! Really well done in, well, everything
Excellent p[icture I do have a crit but I will save it. The pose is very dynamic.
It happened during the fight and they grabbed the first shield they could to protect themselves. It's not their fault they ended up with the shield from the wrong side. ;o) Excellent action image. Bunny
What a wonderful scene....Is this getting me ready for the 300???? Love it Nancy....
A superb battle scene and you captured the 'bloody brooding' atmosphere perfectly. CC
I heard about a new movie that was almost entirely shot in a warehouse in Canada of a battle of medieval times with computer graphics.this would qualify as a scene for sure.stunning composition and Hopalong to the rescue
This is impressive Nancy ... WWWOOOWWW ...*** Fav ***
