Description Another manipulation that turned out better than expected

The picture is about the norse godess of the sea, Ran, who is described as being incrediby greedy (So greedy infact, that her name, Ran, means "Robbery" in swedish.) and wanting to drown everyone and everything so only she will have access to all things. She is also the godess of the drowned.

The writing in futhark runes is a passage from the story of Siegfried and translates roughly into:

"In the deep sea caves
By the sounding shore,
In the dashing waves
When the wild storms roar,
In Her cold gren bowers,
In the Northern Fiords,
She lurks and She glowers,
She grasps and She hoards
And She spreads Her strong
Net for Her prey."

I have used a ton of stockimages and I'm not really good at keeping track of who I've taken what from, so if you happen to spot a certain stockimage you recognize, then please message me so I can give proper credit.
And I would appreciate criticism of my work so I can improve my skills, it is easy to become blind to ones own skill, or rather, lack thereof


EDIT:
I wasn't too happy with the look of the runes so I remade them and changed the poem.
