just a little something. I don't feel inspired lately, and photomnaipulation is beginning to bore me, as you might have noticed for my last few works. So while I'm waiting for the inspiration I have decided to make little things like this.
Elwing, character from The Silmarillion. The daughter of Dior Eluchíl and wife of Eärendil the Mariner. Through the power of Ulmo she escaped the destruction of the Havens of Sirion in the form of a white bird, and came to her husband on the Sea with a Silmaril on her breast. Elwing's name, 'Star-spray' comes from the starlight glinting on the waterfall of Lanthir Lamath, at her father's house in Ossiriand, on the night she was born. She's the mother of Elros and Elrond the Half Elven (yes, the one from LotR)
I tend to lean towards desaturation, which looks good to me, but others tend not to like it as much :/ ah well, I'll get a nice DSLR for christmas and I can take my own stock then
