I love the murky, dark palette, and the brush strokes. I love the composition, with the corner of the building just so, and the inky, milky swirl of blue clouds weighing down the sky. I really love Sherlock's pose, so pulled into himself instead of soaring like an angel might. His pointed toes are doing something funny to my heart. *clutches pearls*
