Great shot mate!!

Why is there light hitting (the knight! :P) from the right?

Fire could have been better in the background..

Ok good, in that case try to open the uncropped image and crop again leaving a bit more space on the right hand side. Hopefully then the sword will be in the middle (the right side is slightly cut off atm), then it will be a much nicer proportioned shot

Paul, this is so good. I like the subdued lighting and the how the dark encroaches either side of you, I like the use of the sword and the strong hand holding it firm, excellent work

Thanks beach, this is the shot I had in mind when I bought the sword. The model was going to be a female model,, but alas it's just me. I am going to do it again as soon I can get a female to pose for me.

Paul, I see where you're going with this and it sounds fantatsic. Good luck with finding the right volunteer and I'll be looking out for the next version.
