"When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry...

'Cause they've got to ride forever on the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire—as they ride on hear their cry...

Cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch that devil's herd, across these endless skies."
— Stan Jones 

This was an experiment in separating tonal ranges into layers, trying to push things harder while still retaining some smoothness in the midtones.  I guess that's been my visual theme lately: trying to bring a less subtle sense of light into images without letting them become bright overall.
