Sanctuary

Alone in the dark

This is a somewhat dark design with an almost eerie atmosphere.

The composition is a good example on what I sometimes refer to as graphic sampling - tons of different graphic material put together in a new design.

There is a strange light in the design.
Even though it is a dark night, the moon provides so much light, that the small building on top of the mountain, almost seems to be in daylight.
Also the flock of flying bats are easy to see, just as well as the bridge and the small waterfall in the background, is lit up enough that you can see it.

However it is still the small girl in the center, that attracts the attention. She seems so alone and vulnerable, sitting there in the dark all by herself.
Looking at her, I am reminded of the story "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen.
