Just, wow, I don't know if it's just me viewing it or actual skill but there is a lot of emotion in this picture, on the warriors face and pose I can see both the agony of his wounds, a sadness of death but the joy of knowing he is being taken to a better place. The whole scene shows this too with everything around being drab, grey and horrible but the small valkyrie's light gives a small aura of hope to the picture when seen. It's an amazing piece that brings up conflicting emotions, masterfully done.
