I LOVE all of the nature imagery and symbolism in this piece. It's such a great picture, of Eowyn trying so hard to remain cold and aloof yet she can't, amid all of this beauty. Spring's coming. Love the wordplay between Eowyn and Faramir ("Yet there can be beauty amid despair.") and the way his voice becomes an answer to her prayer for hope. This is a great piece!
