Excellent composition and tonal balance. Good contrast in textures, too.

Sepia tone was an excellent choice for the mood of this image... it makes it seem ancient.

Yes, sepia was very nice on this one.

Nope! 1984! as I recall it was made by an Norweagian artist in Italy, and then transported here to Stavanger in 1984. But when I was a little girl I tought it was the vikings that had put it there a long, long time ago....
