Looks like she's standing in front of the light, not in it...

Nice composition I like the wings and the flowers she's holding in her hand. But maybe you could work a bit on the skirt. It looks very square. Maybe a bit liquify and dodge and burn can help to make it look like her butt is actually under that skirt Good luck!

I agree with cmyk, try lightening up her right side, while removing all the light streaks that any part of her touches from the left. I also suggest a gradient mask on the light itself, for added realism as the light dissipates. Also try what Lelaina suggested. Good luck

oh author.. go a head and show the BUM... you put a lot of work into this, and it's not pornographic... and she has a great tush!! (red flag this and ask if it's okay to show her behind.. it would make this piece really pop!!! great job

good change, much more dramatic.. (i agree with GolemAura! xD)

nce idea

Pretty good! But the wings look like they're floating behind the lady. Try blending the ends of them instead of just burning that part of the body. Good Luck
