Very nice execution.....Well done .....G/L Author.

Wow, the sweet little fairy's hair and plumage are on end

Awesome shot! GL!

WOW!!!!! You did really awesome on this! Love the blending and colors... just makes me more jealous of ya'll that can work with PS!

Nice chop! GL!

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

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

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!

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

so beautiful.

I'm glad you immortalized it

A very clear picture G L !

Congrats Arca....great entry...

Congratulations for your beautiful photo!

Very nice!

Nice sweet creation.

Very cool work author...Best of luck

Pretty!! The mood here is soooo nice

Beautiful!

I love this...so artistic. GL

Nice mood and composition. She will have frostbite though.

Nice shot!

Fantastic job ! IMO, you could desaturate the model a little to make it go better with your background. I think she's a little too white, compared to the pale blue of the background. But, that's just IMO. GL !

Edit : Better, GL !

weird spirit...

I agree with what you say about speaking to you. THe lighting on the faces is totally amazing!!

Yes, the light 'from above' really makes this photo special. Was getting a shot with this light through patience or good luck?

I can see what you mean, love the light on the heads

She's actually an awesome person, a great humanitarian and a voice in the fight for Equal Rights here in USA.

Oh, and I can see why you might have lost interest in The Vampire Armand" In the book, Marius is a pedophile. Was that was turned you off?

Armand was the last I read and the last in the series.

I thought "Tale of the Body Thief" was one of the best but Interview, the book is definitely better than the movie. "Queen of the damned" movie was a mockery to Anne.

Read half the first book in Mayfair Witches but totally got bored when she started in on the journal. Anne became a Born Again Christian and wrote this novel called "Christ the Lord, Out of Egypt " Her take on his life as a 12 year old. It was interesting. Then she renounced Christianity earlier this year. She's quite a Fascinating woman.

Nice association with such an awesome author. GL!

I can see this one as a good match. If only it could have been in more focus, right??? GL!

Definitely kinetic GL!

I can see it too! How far into the Vampire Chronicles are you? (Interview with the Vampire is the first)

Nice detail!

This is incredible. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way this was constructed. Its a beautiful world you created. My favorites are the wolf and the fairy.

Unique!

Congratulations!

well done, looks like one of those old Christmas cards.

beautiful photo
