Wonderful work! Maybe give the mirror image a slightly different shade, to have just a bit difference between the real and the mirror image.
Nevertheless I love it. Good luck!

Great colors and focus (I agree with Josh about the saturation, though - might bump the contrast a little too)

Hey....its your decision.....but i do think my advice would only improve the image.
You can still keep the picture dark with the proper exposure levels.

Oh you saw all the trees you could possibly see. This looks SO much better! And I'm happy, that it looks better for you too.
I know that feeling btw, that you search for a specific source forever and when you finally find one, you just want to keep it.
Good luck again!

I am one of those people who hated that contest theme, because I wouldn't want to see so suffering and I'd know many people would play on it. Actually the human being is not as strong as he thinks he is. He's vulnerable...
But you really did a nice image of incentive, showing that things can be better when you believe. It's urgent to believe in life, in hope, in love, in God (or in a major strenght above us).
Great work and GL!

Lelaina says:

Great idea and job. Especially very good work with making her skinny, looks very convincing. Her facial expression is also very good and I really like the colour scheme and that you adapted the colour from her strand of hair to the butterflies and the poppy field.
There is just one thing, that could be (in my opinion) improved. Where you placed her now is the field already very blurry, but the source from the woman is sharp. I think the blending there could be a bit better. The most drastic thing would be probably to replace the poppy field, but what you could try too is copying some of the flowers and the grass from the foreground (which are sharp) and paste them in front of her dress, so you have more or less the same sharpness. Or you could just put her a bit more in the foreground, where the grass and flowers are still sharp.
And another small thing: the cutout of the grass in front of her dress is good, but could maybe be a bit improved.
What you could try is picking the eraser and erase with the brush that looks like 3 blades of grass (it's a standard brush) and erase with different brush sizes in front of her dress. This way you get the grass structure and it looks more natural. Probably not the most professional way to do it, but that's how I always do it and it works good for me
But like I said, it's really a great entry and works very good with the song
Good luck!

I truly love the positive aspect of this piece. It is a sad image but there is hope portrayed as well; not easy to get both in one image. Well thought out and lovely statement on a devastating illness. Well done author!
