Nightfall

Worked on this one for a while, actually took quite a bit of time for the concept to fully enter my mind.

I've been dreaming about ravens recently, and as a Scorpio I identify very heavily with water, which is also the element of communication. I wanted this piece to have the feel of night gently falling, and thoughts passing between the ravens and the woman in the water. I leave those thoughts up to speculation.
