Artist's Comments

Inspired by a photograph I took at Fountains Abbey.

Background image mine.

The knight from :icontigg-stock:

The young damsel from :iconatistatplay:
My sincere thanks to them both :heart:

I don't think the image is historically accurate at all, I just had fun playing around with it.

Thank you for looking,

At that distance -- and depending on the strength of the crossbow -- that bolt would go through the armor on the horse, continue through the horse and pass through the armored knight as well. The crossbow pretty much spelt the end armor like that. Although the accuracy of crossbows at a distance is highly questionable:lol: Of course an English longbow could do pretty much the same thing and at a much greater range -- but it took years to train a good longbowman and learning the crossbow isn't much more difficult than learning to use a gun, so the crossbow took over from the longbow.
However . . . the pic is beautifully done.

Great job on getting the different stock to blend together! :wow: I always have the worst time trying to get people stock from more that one photographer to look like they belong together! Ha ha that's why you never see more than one person in my work! :giggle:

Thank you for your nice message Cassandra, you sure do know your historical weapons! I really appreciate your kindness to me.
I have been so busy lately I have neglected all my friends here on DA. I have some time at last to devote to catching up.
Fond regards Pat AKA M:boing::boing:nm:boing:mma
