Woman in a black lace gown holds a lit candelabra

About this image

Stunning dark fantasy artwork of a woman in an ornate black lace gown standing in a grand stone castle hall holding a glowing brass candelabra. Her long cast shadow morphs into a layered immersive fantasy world featuring a gothic spired castle, flying dragon, howling wolf, moonlit harbor and glowing enchanted forest. The piece has a moody atmospheric gothic tone, with warm candlelight contrasting cool luminous magical details.

  Funny. A few people have mentioned the recent one and I have zero recollection of it. Guess that shows how much importance I give to it - they come, I enter, view results and they're rapidly forgotten. perhaps because of my general frustration with the voting and frequent lack of creativity in the images submitted.

  Well done on top 10. Great image, interesting idea to go away from the different shadow to things inside the shadow. I can't remember if I picked it or not when I saw it.

  The duality of being 😁 A dark world in the shadow of her elegance. Is it her past, or perhaps the future? 🤔 I really like the picture 😁

  I don't remember all of them that well but some stick out for either good or bad reasons.
