Description
What Child is This?
(Dedicated to Marc Viau)
What child is this, who laid to rest on Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom Angels Greet with Anthems sweet,
while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King!
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing!
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary.
Merry Christmas to everyone at Renderosity, to all of you for your support, and for your friendship.

(This was originally an 80mb file...I have labored for weeks, and just finished this morning. I am trying to convey what I see when I sing at Midnight Mass in a gothic cathedral)

Background would be masterpiece alone, you have used wery Syydish colors there. Lights are perfectly chaotic and balanced. 2/5 of this pic is only background, and thats just right, giving that massive chathedralic mood, you are not foisting foreground, you're letting me explore details in peace.
Beautiful, crowned woman with modern yellow leather(?) jacket, little hints of sexuality, holding crowned child, chriest. Could this pic be called also "The second coming"?
I have stared this, not only now, but few times before, trying to find something to improve, to be honest with you and tell what could be better. It could not be better. Technical perfection have bereft 1% of creative, intuitive look, but still, it could not be better.
this have old virgin face look of church statues, but new clothes! Is like church very much.
What can I say that others haven't? Very sensitive and pulsing image, a true master piece!
Amazing, simply amazing.....
This is one of your best
Cygnus...I don't know how I missed commenting on this one. It's my very favorite, favorite piece of yours, including Freedom of the One, which is itself so hard to beat. I look at it whenever I want to feel those elusive qualities of tranquility, absolute beauty and a certain-ness about the future that are so hard to grasp. Please don't ever take it down and please don't stop expressing yourself like this. The world would never be the same without you. Love, Kaefring...
