The Lady at the Door

The Lady at the Door
Whispering leaves
Crunching gravel
Silence pervasive now broken
Stillness no longer
Red stirs about alabaster
Each stride
Closer

Cold stone
Rusted steel
Alone for time forgotten
Citadel stands
Faceless
Alone
Lost

Fortress erected
Protecting worlds
Locks hold
The Dark Heart
Seething
Pulsing
Sensing
Coming consumption

Sweet ivory kneels
Red whispers comfort
Soft touch
Monolith shudders
Heart stops
Breathless
Waits

Door
Gate
Portal
Cell

Apps: Photoshop CS3
Medium: Photomanipulation

I don't usually go for photomanipulations, but I just couldn't get out what I wanted on paper so I turned to trying something new. Learned a bit more about photoshop doing it, and it was fun to stretch my boundaries some.

Base photo and model: Pufuliciculipici

Forest background: Betelgeza

Key: Photodreamstock

Thanks to all three for great stock photos!
