Talisman part deux

Wow! A lot of love for my previous picture. I'm going to keep at this colour malarky then and see what comes.

A while ago I did a piece for the IF topic of 'talisman'. Well, I wasn't that happy with it so I decided to have a second attempt, and this is the result - something that conveys much more of the concept of nature that I originally wanted. Overall, an improvement I think.
