As far as vision goes, the statement and picture are flawless. Merzlak, if it were not for your beautifully woven quotes along with an equally beautiful picture, I feel pictures like these would be severely unrealized and under-appreciated. Your words along with your photographic sense and artistry work beautifully together.
I can see where much of the inspiration comes from--this strongly reminds me of a scene in "Lord of the Rings"; "The Departure of Boromir," I think it was called. Although awe-inspiring, the scene lacks the twist and originality that I expected, though still holds the unique flavor that is so distinctly yours.
Your mastery of the camera and effects are absolutely flawless and the expression is one to be remembered. Not to mention the hand held out to the light is the icing on a delicious cake (at the risk of sounding mellow-dramatic).
While the picture is (as I mentioned before) awe-inspiring, it lacks the impact because of my complaints on originality--it is a theme that has been played to a similar tune, and you have done photos like this before, which takes the "AH!" out of the photograph, and makes it a, "Oh...!"
While I do not claim to have any sway in your decisions as far as dubject matter or methods for inspiration in your photos, I would like to humbly make a suggestion: As with any creative writing scenario, the challenge of creating an excellent story is conveying the heart-warming, romantic, visceral, or horrific message in a particular paragraph or passage (depending on the genre of the story) without conforming to cliche's. For your next photo, if you make the subject matter about loss, capture the precise moment of life leaving the central figure of the photo, or the climax of a loved one's sadness by capturing the tears.
As I'm sure you know, the trick in capturing an excellent photo is not just capturing the "perfect moment" but the climax of emotions during that moment. This concept can be taken a step farther by capturing those emotions in the characters actions without entire focus on the face.
As I've said before, you have my undying respect, Merzlak. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
