Description
The title of this image is taken from the excellent fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire" (on which the HBO series "Game of Thrones" is based). The image itself has nothing to do with the story, other than the mood, and the dragon, and the stones....
Poser 9, Vue 11, Photoshop CS6.

I was going to skip so I could get an array, but here I am doing 3 in a row. I remember when this went up and thinking how well you tackle detail in darkness; so here I am once more. Darkroom photographers would spend hours in the darkroom coaxing out detail from darkness; and then 'mold' that detail so it almost seemed like silk. (Ansel Adams did that.) That's what you've done here. The drooping lava-like quality of the front-stone is wonderful. Like chocolate sauce for for vampires. You have more of your razor-sharp tree and wing detail (the dragon), in sharp contrast against your sky. Then a big sweeping helluva sky, with deep violets and razor-sharp contrasting whites---esp on the left, though there's a smidgeon of it on the right too. Fine contrasts! And then great purple reflections on the rockfaces at far left: Man, those are some luminous, standout hues on the sides of those rocks. So we're looking at piece sunken in shadows, but with lots of detail and just enough dramatic touches to make it dance in the dark. I mean, you could've used lots of contrasts, but instead you kept it mostly dark; and it's terrific that you kept the dark so alive. A fun and truly clear image, in a pre-night purple that makes us feel like it's luring us into a verrrrrry long night...
