Great stuff!  Those quar are such strange things but look great here...but the painting on those archers is very sooth and I have to admit that the shadows do add something...brutal choice.

Cheers,

Blackwolf: What filter do you use to get that effect with your lighting? I've noticed it before and have been meaning to ask. I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that you use some sort of color filter to give it the very golden quality. It makes the photos very distinct and lifelike...

Thanks Mike  :) No filters,just my dodgy camera skills and Australian light; I take all my photos under an awning on our terrace,setting my 10 year old SLR white balance to cloudy or setting it manually. Usually the exposure level is set to -5 or even -1.5; a lot of people think my photos too dark,I rather like it,it's become my style. I'm colourblind too,hence my sepia painting tones. So in essence it's colourblindness mixed with bloodymindedness lol.

Cheers

Wow...what a difference that light coming upside down can make.... lol lol

I would have guessed some sort of yellow or gold filter -- shows how much I know about photography! Count me as one of your fans. I love the way the light gives a late afternoon glow to the shot.
