Description
"The girl aproached the edge of the cliff absent-mindedly, as all of those before her did. Empty eyes set straight at the vast scenery stretching out before them, body moving flawlessly forward despite the rocky and uneven surface, as if led by some otherworldly power. The last moments of her life spent with no awareness of her actions at all. All she wanted, all she strived for, was to immerse herself into eternity awaiting in the limitless world right in front of her.
The Reaper stood nearby, waiting, as he always did, for the girl to take her last steps before becoming a part of his realm. He smiled to himself, nodding his head slightly, as he knew he struck a good deal with the old witch. Old only by her year count, yet not by her look. She could already feel the girl's life flowing through her body which, in just a moment, would replenish all her vitality and youth. She would stay forever young, getting half of the victim's lifespan as a reward for luring women right into the cold hands of death. That's how all the girls who accepted a piece of jewelry from the witch ended their lives."
Had to come up with a short backstory for the image So here it is!

Backstory was a nice touch! Neat idea how that scene happened: woman got fooled by the old witch who has made a deal with death himself to gain longer lifespan.
But as for the story building, I guess it's highly used at describing, but for me, I get easily tired to read it so it's not my thing.
Anyway, moving to the cherry top of the cake: edited photo.
If I have to describe it with a single word, I'll say this: incredible. Choice of female model shows well possessed tinge by glowing jewellery where she stares at the horizon top of the cliff. Fits for the situation very well. And Grim Reaper looks amazing at back! Skeletons gives an extra boost to death's touch when woman's life is about to end into hands of Death.
But I do have a critique too. If Grim Reaper was actually turned around, staring at woman, then the entire piece would been "AMAZING!!". Reaper's face being exposed wouldn't been necessary neither: just the idea gives more powerful message.
Amazing work, as always! Keep up the good work.

Haha thanks! Had to come up with some random story behind it and this came to my mind I'm not much of a writer so I just wanted these few sentences to do their job xd
Thank you for the comment Mega! I saw Faestock's "Memento" photoshoot and I fell in love with this one. Within few seconds I had a whole idea for the manip in my head As for the Reaper - I wanted him to be turned away from her but trust me, you'll get to see his face one day =u= fuhuhuh~

And they did a great job at it!
Yup, I looked at the original Memento, and they are very good ones for bases. Outcome turned out nicely and I liked it.
But as for the Reaper... So you are implying something?
