Very nice choices -- think the transition between the thumb and the handle of the mask needs a touch up -- appears the handle is going thru the thumb not under it -- bit of shadow from the thumb to the handle and maybe extend the handle to the gap between the thumb and finger

Thnx Alan

This image kinda gives me an art nouveau impression

yes , yes , yes!!! I love your sources, the dual colour balance on this image works well and although i think your model is more of the focus point for me than the mask you have used the main source creatively and in many places within your image.

WELL DONE >> OFF TO THE FAVS!

Beautiful, love the colours GL

I really love this, nicely done

great image..good color fx

Great colour choicesm great image sources and most importantly that the author blended them very well - thumbs up

That's a great work, especially on using colors. There are somethings that might be helpful to you if you want to improve further: (1) The size of the mask is quite small compared to her face, you can use the distance between her eyes as the standard and enlarge the mask to fit it; (2) The saturation level of the mask is noticeably higher than the rest while the colors of the character are quite muted. If you use the blue filter for the mask, it would fit more to the image; (3) There are many black dots on the image, I don't know your purpose but they are quite distracting. Best work so far!!

Thanks guys for the wonderful comments @ Langstrum thnx for the tips, am ever learning, you made great observations...strangely i used the distance between d eyes to size the mask...the dots were our of my creativity..but all note taken..Thanks

Magnificent

Congrats for first.....!

very nice mood

Yeah, so beautiful! Well done!

VERY COOL! love the overall color and feel of the picture!! Great pice of art! A couple suggestions take them if you wish, if not this still a great piece. Maybe make the eyes all black, or maybe glowing! Right now she looks a little cross eyed. Also it would be nice to see some fine detail hair strands, you could make just a few paths and stroke them with the pressure turned on. Anyway good luck!

Visually pleasing , great colour and model choice. IMO I agree about the hair with Robart523, in the fact that a few fly-away stands in the hair would bring a little more to the image.

Either way it will be one for the favs for me.

great mood author. Best of luck.

Very nice image! It reminds me something of the Wonder Woman comic book.
The only thing that I noticed in the hi-res is that the lower part of the leg that rests on the rock is not well blended (there is a dark line).

Agree with Robart523 on the suggestion about the eyes..... wonderful mood you have set author...good luck

@ Robart523: made the changes you suggested, @ marina08: thanks for catching that.

simply love this "cat-woman" feel... great use of colors... cool

Yes yes yes! great improvement

@Nator: Tried your suggestion about the background with no difference but applied the Gaussian Blur just a tad. Thanks for that.

Beautiful image...I love the blue colors....good luck author.

Great Color and mood selection!!..

Congrats for 2nd place

Congratulations for second......!

Really nice work on shadows! Lovely mood!

Mask does not blend well with the image. It's left side should be darker. Light source is behind it, try experimenting with Satin.

Maybe a bit of color adjustment to make the mask blend better with the image, or make the dress match the mask...

Great image, but I do agree with nbaztec and MossyB. Good Luck Author.

Thanks for comments and suggestions, I changed the mask color to make the it match the picture....I think it is going to be ok..

Much better now.

Great improvement author, good luck.

love the changes you have made.

Congrats on 3rd place George55
