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

Nice pic ggod luck!!

nice work

looking great

I like the color mix

nice

very cute and welldone

I really like this i just think the edges are too sharp on the wings

nice pic

I just love this. I wish you would add some words to the guide so I can play too

Increase reflection under her a bit and maybe add a slight shadow and this will be...!!! It already rocks!

fantastic work!

beautiful image. great balance of colour and source.

100 from the first look! awesome image

very interesting use of source

nice concept.if its a mermaid then mayb her tail should be little bigger and longer and its a fair u can turn those into wings or sumething else but i love this way too

I think her tail is too small.

Thanks for your comments and I modified the tail and add the wings

great work

Beautiful image and colors!

love this work, would think the butterfly wings below her eyes would cast a tat darker shadow looking at all the dark lines/shades in her face what else can i say... i love fairies...

Beautiful!

How sweet Very good job in cleaning her skin up and also a very good job with all the things you added. Good luck!

Very sweet, i love the reflection in the water droplet.

My first word is only "woow!"..really great job...but when I see on image little longer, I think that you can work more with the falling leafs. There are thin white border around them. However high rank of course (:

Incredible image.. the mood, the glow - everything! It's perfect for the contest. Good luck!

Really great image! Love the mood and the colors.

You caught the hole in the forest canopy... great job!
