A Storm of Swords – Burning The Dead

I wasn’t sure what to do with this one. My main incentive was to avoid Jarl begging for mercy from the previous page.
All in all, I like how this composition turned out since it contrasts the solemn affair with the beautiful day and majesty of the wall.
My only problem with it is the smoke doesn’t look like smoke. Which adds it to my list of pictures to do color versions of.
