Elegance that's the word for this piece. Background lacking color adds to the main subject bringing out the eyes and detail features. Flower is so vibrant adding to the appeal. Well composed and organized image. Expression of the face says it all.

Shawn this is breathtaking, like a a dream or fantasy where the light almost blinds you. Such a simple gesture but so very effective in its elegance. I absolutley love it. Sorry I do not review as much I work a lot of hours. But I love your work.

It is so beautiful.
I thought that is your entry for the contest.
How you use limited colors is just outstanding. The expression in the face is so innocent, fresh and awakening as spring itself. The flower seams the counterpart of this beauty.

Shawn! Hi! LOL. What I like so much about this image, besides the pure beauty of the face, is how you express so much by showing nothing at all! Of course I am referring to the blank background surrounding your subject. It gives perfect attention to the perfectly lovely face, which inhales the divine fragrance of the beautiful flower. This is so pure and lovely. Perfect composition and so SO expressive, a PURE MOOD. Very nice, ethereal vision, Shawn.

Mike

I really like the beautiful skin tones you created. Her eyes - although we cannot see them - are beautiful - facial feathers are excellent.

Usually digital portraiture of this type has a mechanical feel to them - you rendered this piece in such a soft and loving way that it is amazing to the senses. Your technique with the medium is superb - Great work - Thank you Howard
