A Selkie
~~~
I've always loved the stories about selkies; just so beautiful...

'I have come in from the ocean
I have come in from the sea
And I'll not go to the waves, love,
Lest ye come along with me.'

The Maiden and the Selkie
~ Heather Dale

This photo was not taken on the Nov. 30, 1999....that camera info is totally off

Lovely work! O__O His hair is great! So much detail. And my favorite part is that you didn't ONLY pay attention to his hair. XD
I like his face too!
