Contests / 2008 / Empowering Women Within / Art Submissions

_{This is my submission to the 2008 Empowering Women Within Contest.

Disclaimer: The photo may or may not speak for itself, but I should make it clear firstly that no disrespect was intended or implied to any individual in our armed forces. Nor is it an endorsement of the war we're caught up in.

~

I will simply say this to those of you that have issues with women being in the army: there is absolutely no coincidence that the Irish god of battle, victory and prophecy was a female.

The necklace is no adornment. The torc was armor, made popular by the Gauls, Picts, Celts...choose your poison. We wore them back in the day when battle was more honorable, and we wear them even now.

Try all you like, but I ain't scared. This Goddess will fight till the bloody, bitter end.

Make up, photo, lighting, model: yours truly. Self-timer be a pain.}

This must be one of the most powerful images of a female I've seen. And it's good work too. Very well done!

BOOYAH lol I like how you did this picture alot, in old celtic society women held power just the same as men even in battle often time were even more terrifying. I forget her name at the moment but there was celtic queen who gave the romans holy hell as they marched on what is now great britan.
^_^ I love this sort of stuff.
