Yes I was wondering about that as I knew it was a shadow of another knight but didn’t know if you had put it there. How amazing to have captured that with the shadow of the other knight in the right place.
Mel Brackstone replied 25 days ago
I added shadows for Sir Luke, I’m not that good I can add other knights on rearing horses…..lol! (Thanks for thinking it though!! )

Well in that case if you put the shadow there then that is just as impressive to even think about doing that. So you are that good! :)

Mel, this is fantastic – I am lost for words. BUT—viewed on the black background raises it to another level. It just glows! It’s in a class of its own.

Great work Mel, is he planing to pole vault into the castle or is he stopping for a spot of jousting on the way? ;-)

Exceptional Mel, I love this! You definitely could use this as a bookcover for a romance or fairytale type novel, and it would look awesome as a poster! Wonderful nostalgic and vintage feel achieved with the colors and textures! I guess deep down we were all princesses in waiting at one time or another…

In days of old, when knights were bold, their journeys full of hassle,
to keep them well, they would trust in Mel, to provide the nearest Castle …........... :))
