Why, that's lovely, Suzu. I particularly love the shading you have on Benton's hair and his uniform, with the pocket highlights giving his whole body depth; and of course the midnight blue suggestion of a storm in the background blending into the iron/stonework of Ray's stained glass window. I Love the font, too: it feels very much as if it's carved into the stone wall beside Ray. And of course Ray looking down over Fraser, while he's turned away, unaware. The whole thing has tht watercolour/fairytale feel that really suits j_s's story.

Thank you, gloriana. Your comments make me very pleased, because you mention everything I was aiming for in the picture and I am delighted that it seems to have worked for you.

Many thanks indeed!
