Circle of Life

I had this idea after seeing spirit world so closely intertwined with ours in Brother Bear, listening to the song "Circle of Life" and a picture of Stone Hedge. And voila, here's the result
Of course, it wasn't that easy! I've never done spirit forms in my life so creating this piece was a challenge. It took dozens of failed tries until I was finally happy with my horse and then I realized I had few more animals to do But this was my concept from the start, that's why it took me a whole month to finish it. (Don't know how many times I closed the .psd file frustrated as hell, only to open it few days later.)

And I'd love to hear your thoughts on this piece!
