She had been here since time immemorial, this little imp of a thing, with her flowing golden locks and chubby little cheeks. Much as a human child of few summers, but ageless in a way that humanity could never know.

She had been here from the time the sun had burned its first fire, and she had tended these groves and this earth with loving tenderness for all that time.

She had been here, and had thought that she would always be, but as she crouched there among these last few seedlings, she knew that such a thing was not to be. For there was a change now. A change she could feel in the earth. A change she could taste in the water, and a change she could hear in the whispers of the breeze. A change that told her that her time here was almost done.

So she tenderly stroked the seedlings, releasing a small cloud of their precious cargo, and smiled with a tear in her eye. Then she stood, and raising her arms to the sky she gathered around her the last of the energy that had guided her through the eons to this time, and with that energy she called to her a hard but gentle wind.

The air gathered about her, whipping her hair and hitting the seedlings about her feet, and as it did they gave up the last of their seeds, sending them flying about in all directions, to destinations even she did not know.

As the seeds blew in a maelstrom of fluff like the deepest of snow, she lifted her face to the winds and closed her eyes, and amidst the swirling activity she slowly faded away, and the earth knew her no more.

One of my top5 picks from the challenge. Wonderful catch of the moment. I like the choice of title, it's simple and connects extremely well. Toning looks great, if anything(doesn't detract from the though) the vignette doesn't look as even coming in, in the top left section of the shot. Hope this shot does well. Good luck! :)

A solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being rich with excellant detail. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. A top ten image and a very strong contender for a ribbon. Well done.
