Absolutely gorgeous mixed media. The main flowers are wonderful. I can see the softness in the petals and the brushing made them come alive. Wonderful fantasy look background that goes well with it. Stunning.

You have blurred the line here in a very lovely way..the veils of transparency that hide the background a wee bit add such a nice feel. The golden colors pop in a very nice way, and the composition leads the eye deeper into the picture always searching for the line between illusion and reality. Such a beautiful piece! Donkeyoatey

Comment from Artyval


This is a very successful mix.The colour is understated and soft and highlightthe main flowers. The little magical shapes in the background make this so beautiful and swirl around the subject. The pale pink flowers are highlighted by the soft abstract shapes that surround it.Quite successful and very beautiful.

Really pretty work here.
Great use of light.
Good color tones.
Great layering.
I especially like the way you have lines coming into the center flower from top and bottom corners.

It looks magical, enchanted and perfect for fantasy stories. Very artistic and high on creativity, Love those gentle lights, the clarity of the petals and the stamen with its prominent textures and the various lines in the background. Very love and mysterious, too. Presented with excellence and beautifully framed. Sorry, I am out of six, but this is extraordinaire.

The use of the tones of the metallic family is gorgeous. The layers of background has so much depth and beauty. The flower's position in the scene is well placed. The addition of golden flowers to accent the main flower is like dressing the Christmas Tree. The lens effects that do the streaking is wonderfully applied.

Great initial impact.
A very lovely photo, has a relaxing feel to it with the soft pinks of the petals. Also has a dreamlike appearance with the fading into the background.
Great editing techniques.
Well done.

This is stunning. I have looking at it for quite some time and am amazed by it. The tranquility it depicts, well let's just say I don't have to meditate today:) The colors are wonderful, almost ethereal. For something new, you have done an excellent job. thanks for sharing.

Comment from paraisle


Very interesting conceptually. and the different layers you used do work well together. Really enjoy the soft almost smoky effect that is very soothing and pleasing to the eye. The subtle colors also are very complimentary and the highlights and extra appeal. There are though some specks on the main flower petals that should be removed...other than that very nicely done.
