Wow!! This is absolutely gorgeous!! I love how you've painted Eol's features: very dark, expressive and virile- perfect for his character. And Aredhel is beautiful- those flowing white robes are so realistic and a lovely contrast to the darker side of the painting.

The diagonals of the branches really add nicely to the tension of the piece, building on the already tense aura coming from Eol. And the way you've painted his armour is really magnificent. I love the design, and the shine on the metal of his armour and sword really fits well in his environment- not an easy thing to do. Also, the flowing, lightness of the hair of the elves and of the horse is perfect!
