Nice touch of surrealism here.

omg. just like a movie. really good !

thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. this took me an hour or so to accomplish. i greatly appreciate it

Lovely final image and your colour combination is superb! There are a couple of lines that are quite noticeable in High Res (think you may have missed them when blending ... (like, who hasn't done that ) ...they are at the base of the far booth ... it is an excellent image but if you ever want to print it they would stand out and I think spoil the overall excellence of piece.

i see the lines arca im gonna correct them now

nice...GL

Looks apocalyptic

nice job glamgirl

great...

Magnifique!, great source choices and very well executed.... and I always love your hair
Well done and very best of luck, high hopes for this one

It looks good, and you made a pretty cool SBS, but one thing I don't agree with is the color of her hair & dress that gets lost in the colors of the sky. I understand that she's a force of nature and therefore there's a reason for the blending, but somehow she should step out more - at least a darker hair and dress .
Happy New Year!

Love the picture. My only issue that lightning wouldn't cast a shadow on the ground.

NOTE: IMAGE HAS BEEN EDITED AS PER SUGGESTIONS ABOVE
@Gino, thank you so much for the lovely comment and fav!
@ pingenvy - I searched for a long time to find out if lightning cast a shadow and could not find an answer. All I know is: Lightning is Plasma (neither a Gas or a Solid) and does have Mass. So I thought that perhaps it would cast a shadow. I prefer the picture without and your comment encouraged me to remove it. Thanks!

@greymval - I darkened her dress and hair and changed the sky's colour a bit. I am out of time to do more but think this helps. Thanks for the suggestion.

Author I have to agree with Greymval on the hair color...Think any other color would made her stand out a little more....And the lightening issue IMO for this image is a bit out of place along the side of her arm and with that being said, I think causes the "issue" of shadow or no shadow...It's the color of the lightening, it just doesn't fit....Still get high marks from me for fantastic work!! Best of Luck

@Christy - Thank you for the feedback!

Nice chop! GL!
