The Last Enemy

This is my first photomanipulation in roughly 4 years now. I tried too hard to make it perfect and ended up spending far longer on it than I initially intended to. I opted for a daytime scene at first, which had more color variety, but I decided that daytime manips were overused so I went the extra mile for a proper night scene. There is a strong underlying theme here that I may have been a tad too subtle with, but I think it's more rewarding this way.
