Thank you so much! I sort of wanted to give the impression of an eye-witness view, and I'm glad if it looks elegant on top of that.

This is really excellent! The many but small allies under the light of the Silmaril against the big black dragon coming out of the shadows. And just in the moment before they crash into each other. Well done!

This is glorious! I love the angle, seeing the battle from below. And the numerous species of birds, not just eagles, because that makes a ton of sense.

Thank you very much! Yes, the text mentions "birds of heaven" in general, so I felt eagles alone wouldn't be enough! :)
