Stunning work, beautiful blending with the hair/face of the women; there is an elegant simplicity to this. The rich colour against the dark background helps to make it a wonderful image. Lovely interpretation of the theme!

Just one small nit-pick ... the edges of the Curlews need a bit of work ... if you have a program that has layer masks try using them then you can nudge the mask with the smudge tool or a fine brush to get cleaner edges. You can also blur (or sharpen) the layer mask once you have everything the way you like and that way either soften or enhance the edge.

If you would like any more advice/help just PM me.
