Originally posted by blindjustice: fantastic... but the blade of the sword shows digital flaws. The focus could be sharper too.

Are those "flaws" a partial reflection of your face?

I think I'd have solved the "centering" problem by having the sword 10-30 degrees off from the vertical towards the right; but maybe that's because I remember once reading a version that had a drawing like that. I think I've also seen it where the sword went right through an anvil and into the stone on which it was mounted.

I like how you did the background, but the lighting does make it look a little like a museum exhibit, rather than a scene from a Middle Ages village.

moodville,

Just for the record, I was an English major and had 3 semesters in Arthurian Literature. Le Morte D'Artur was one of several that I read. Although as you surmise, I'm likely an exception.

Just added to my favorites. Recently had opportunity to travel to Ireland and spent a fair time in cemetary's photographing celtic crosses. Thanks for the photo.

Despite the centered subject matter, I like the composition and especially the colored background. I think what's missing is lack of visual detail of the interesting looking sword, which I think should be lit better. Also, more accoutrements of that period of history would also add more interest, such as, a draped robe or shield.
