This is very cloudy here I am wondering if it did not download to here correctly. It appears misty. From what I can see the image is very good and tells a story very well the interaction between the two subject is exceptional. I really like this one. Thanks for sharing.

Two things need further attention from the artist: 1. the crop on the bottom border is insufficient and leaves a ragged edge; 2. the tonality gradient from one side to the other at the top is fairly much the same, so that the effect of whatever is the source of light is minimalized... and I would say it needs more attention and a steeper gradient. Hope this helps.

    Oliver, how do you feel about your art? This is a photo copy. This was a Christmas card. I just wanted to share it for Christmas with my friends on fan art. Just to say Merry Christmas.

Amazing the detail in this drawing, clear and concise. The highlights on the Shepard's head give life to the drawing. Beyond my skills well done.

WOW! How does one get on your Christmas card list? :)
Another absolutely breathtaking work, a beautiful execution of lighting in the night. The Sheppard's hand illuminated by the star is nothing short of amazing. Absolutely magnificent work on every level. Thanks
