wonderful imagination! i love the earrings you've made out of the whiskers, if only they were gold, id buy em in real life!

It's a good idea but there are some problems:
- Light source : those earrings from her right ear - left side of the image would not receive as much light as those from the right side.
- Edges should be softer cause they make the accessories look flat.
- Shadows on the girl are soft, but the shadow from necklace is hard, like the light source is really close. This discrepancy makes the blend look less realistic.
- also the Design of the necklace could be improved- it doesn't look to nice at this moment.
I hope you won't mind for telling you this, you should know that i appreciate a blending entry more than a CBR where lights/shadows are abstract notions.

Thanks Greymval! It's always easy to be "too close to the trees," and a sharp eye like yours really helps to ground me!
Never be afraid to point out these things, it helps improve my skills to have a "second set of eyes" pointing out where I need to improve.

As for the "design of the necklace could be improved," that's one I can say about a lot of jewelry...lol! It WAS a whisk, after all!

Lol, i meant that metal band around her neck- the shape ( & texture) is not continuous and when it reaches the shoulders it seems it has no thickness. I guess who can easily fix it with a pen tool and a bit of cloning.
The easiest way to improve texture would be to take a sample of the whisk enlarge it and clip it over the shape, while you warp it to follow the curve.
For shadows you can :
- use a different layer in which you paint with black soft brush.
- or just duplicate layer, threshold it , lower opacity.
At the end you should use gaussian blur and fade it ( in Edit) if you think it's too much.

You can also add a few solid color layers on top of the final result with overlay & low opacity, so it improves the general mood & blending.
Some people use lighting effects & overlay to level out the main piece & place on second the BG - just try different things until you like it.

Great work with the earrings but the necklace need some shadows...best of luck author

Very nice execution. Interesting concept!

very cool work overall author...but the sky or space is simply amazing...well done

very very cool effects...gl author

thanks

It looks like there are Saturn type rings for the wisk ball, but they are all behind it, maybe bring lower section to front? Looking good!

interesting work author...gl
