Awesome image, and very nicely textured and rendered! I love that quote - from one of my all-time favorite books, The Alchemist.

I will admit, I have not read it. But on your recommendation, I will add it to my Nook.

Thank you. I have no idea what motivated me to create this -- it's a little grim for me. But I appreciate your nice words!

Wow, this is a great scene! Love how you have posed your characters. This may sound funny but I really like how the dead guys feet look. They look so real, especially the soles of his boots! I also like the expression on your heroine's face. So sad and there are those cool tears again! Your lighting is just awesome! It's spot on! Beautiful work my friend!

Thank you! I took a decidedly morbid turn with this one, but I have to agree with the feet thing. His FEET do look pretty dead, lol! I appreciate your thoughtful comments, as always.
