Description
A Dream
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar... *excerpt from A Dream by
Edgar Allan Poe.

Excellent portrait!! Dramatic posing and light (love the way the shadows play across her face, neck and shoulders). GORGEOUS TEXTURES, fabulous backdrop!
one of my Favs from Poe!! this render i fantastic, I love how you made it look standard medium rendered! Highly Frameable!!!!
Excellent image and lighting!!!
WOW! Stunning and impressive artwork! What a gorgeous portrait and image. Her expression and poise bring flavor to the somewhat sombre mood, and the verse further serves to illustrate the feeling. Really fine work 5+5=10
Looking good Seth.
Fabulous choice of words to accompany this excellent and moody image. Especially with a sky filled with ravens. Awesome work.
One of your best pieces. I feel the expression & love the overall tones. Very well done. As a critique, throwing a blur filter on the birds would help sink them into the background. The crisp outlines not only muddy the depth but don't suggest movement. That's me being a prick, though:) This is superior work!
Wow..lbery dramatic.... My favorite

Fantastic image to go along with Poe's work. This is great!!!
I love E.A.Poe! I think this woman would have him very much. A little sickly and frail. A person who is more in the Hereafter, as in this world is located ... Great work!
