Awesome story! I love how you work in the photography along with the
buildings and the computer editing!
So ... here are some individual things that struck me:
1st shot - very effective and sets the mood well. I like the cloud effect
and the bird's-eye-view.
2nd shot - flying airship - very cool ... what did you use to edit the grahpics?
Last shot on page 1 - very good use of focus/unfocus. I'm assuming you are
using a digi-cam here, right ... ?
The Battle:
Gore - I'm a big fan of it and you bring it ;)
Magic - Simply awesome!
The shot of the guy stabbing the forestman is very effective, and I like how
you just have plenty of pictures and not too much text. Hey - it's a
battle, and with so many things happening, who needs color commentary? ;) I
also like how you flash back with Locke at the very end. When Locke
falls, the use of focus and unfocused surroundings really adds to the height
look of it. I'm starting to really get a feel for Vincent here, and Locke
reminds me of Verneer in some ways :) ... is that a compliment or an insult
here? Twins separated at birth? <grin>
First two shots on the next page with Locke hanging over the edge are very,
very well done. Great mood, great photography.
http://www.sofast.net/~raska/siege%20of%20valkayria/airshipandvalkjpg.jpg -
what a shot! Such a triumphant enterance!
The final shot is also amazing! Very appropriate! I spent a while just
getting some more info on your characters and structures. So what's next on
your agenda if I may ask?
To sum it up - you get my vote for CWSOTW :)

| (...) here (...) grahpics? Hmmm, let's see. I use Photoshop and put the ship on the clouds and then I airbrushed some other clouds in front of it. (...) Right. A Sony Digital Mavica FD88. (...) Yeah, I could see that in some of you're stories :) (...) (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
