You and the other one with this title popped this song into my head for days - not so bad, it is a classic. I knew this was yours - an excellent image in itself which did fit in with a 'modern day' take on the song, coupled with your title, it worked quite well (I gave it a 6) - I guess I wanted to see something 'warlike', a Viking maybe, to match the 'mythical' and 'hard' lyrics and music. Still this grew on me and I could imagine her walking down that 'icey road' to this song. This image does have the 'drama'. Just read your notes, here:

"Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing. "

According to Wikipedia, Immigrant Song was dedicated to Leifr Eiríksson.

Have I said it before? You are one heck of a great photographer! That 85mm 1.2 makes me jealous! Great finish...I thought this would be in the top 3

Great shot. Love the backdrop, really makes your model stand out, sort of 3D like.

excellent! never get tired of these & the way that lens renders a scene (canon 85mm f/1.2?). If there's one piece of glass I covet, it'd be that one...

Interesting. Well photographed. When I look at her feet I feel cold. Is that snow on her toes?
