I love the detail... however, when the orcs charged through the gate it was still dark, the sun did not rise until king Theoden charged the orcs with Aragorn and the Dunedain. But there are flaws in everything men make so... it's still great.

this is an awesome pic, the artist had a great perspective of the Helms deep battle...
I wish i was there, competing alongside Legolas and Gimili and hacking to pieces those nasty Orcs.

.. he can draw battle scenes all right. I do not agree that it's not night here. It's gloomy as h.. and your eyes grow accustomed to the dim lights of the torches and explosions, you know. I was there, I know.

This is an incredible picture. One could just climb into this picture and start fighting the Orcs as well.

Wow - the artist did an amazing job of portraying this battle. Like others said, I'm not so sure about that light in the upper right corner, but other than that it's great!

The scene really looks crazy and exciting. I want to join them and shoot down those orcs! However, if I do, I won't be able to take the path I want: to Mordor and destroy the Ring with Frodo and Sam. It does look like the movie scene, and good job on all the details.
