Description As I walked soft, in Ravenswood,
through light and dappled shade.
A tall old oak, in sunlight stood,
within this forest glade.

And taking time, to sit and watch,
beside the rattling stream.
A sight so wondrous did I catch,
I feared it was a dream.

For there within the clearing round,
beneath the guardian tree,
danced Elfin children o’er the ground,
in laughter, wild and free.

In awe and wonder, did I stay,
transfixed upon this sight,
till sunlight slowly ebbed away,
fading into night.
-Tony Wraight. Read the full poem and it's entirety here:[link]

I'm not really very pleased with how this one looks...it just didn't turn out as I'd generally expected.
I did some playing around with some hair and face highlights, without a clue what I was doing. I quite enjoyed the effect that is put on the ear, I think that turned out quite nicely.

Let me know what you think; critiques and tips are always welcome! Please comment!
