Well, my entry for Nanakyi's contest.

20 hours + in Ps7

"Some said they would see her jumping from cloud to cloud in the storms, and it was the weight of her paws upon them that would bring down the bright bolt born from them. Seldom did the stories tell of the violet twilights when she would be seen running through the trees and charge toward the great cliff that she would rest upon. The oldest of the Elders once said that just before she plummeted from its birth, she would look back and into the very souls of those that looked upon her, and smile, and whisper of a Great Leap and a Sacred Belief, and then leap off the edge and out of sight. Those whose heads were not bowed to her would whisper of hearing a great hum like the course of angels. One old wolf once told of his curiosity and how it led him to that edge after she leapt, and his words told of a great pair of wings breathing like electricity itself from her sides, and she could be seen running atop the water, wingtips touching waters surface just so, and its ripples would reach the shores, giving all the purest waters to drink."

the picture's stunning, and i love the little story with it. great job, as usual!

Minstrel Ayreon Says:

Oh, goodness...she's gorgeous!

Her front paws seem as if they're charged with electricity, that they're glowing--perfect effect! And the yin-yang on her forehead is a great complement to her wise, knowing expression. I only noticed it on second glance, but does she have two different eye colors? That would work very well with the yin-yang, I think...

As for the background, the best parts are the calmer areas of the water (great reflection of the sky!), and the tree. The form of the tree is excellent...I'm in awe because my trees always come out looking horrible.
