This is a neat transition from photo to related digital compositions. It has some sharp lines and informative details which grab attentions quickly.

Comment from cesiljuice


Wow, I'm truly flattered by this gracious image. It holds long enough interest for a while by seeing the smooth details distribute evenly across the scene.

Comment from soyvince


A lovely composition, the subject is excellent, and the degree of technique is high and worth a while to see the contrast - which is nice.

Really interesting picture. I like the technique and the angle you use here. Light treatment is well defined and has the great contrast.

Everything looks great - the technique, the effects, the light, the tones, the form, the dynamics, the clarity and the feelings.

Comment from donkeyoatey


I really like this, the feel is romantic and soft. I like the treatment of the background, and especially like the way her eye is well defined and gazing past me. This will stick in my head, like the collage that you did a few months ago. Superb. Donkeyoatey

Comment from Ganev Smallwood


This is just gorgeous cleo85. It is so like an impressionist work, but even more so than the impressionists. your idea for this in your notes also a great one. I love how the colours in the portrait spill out into thebackground and the textures you have are so soft and pretty. Currently it's winning in the contest and deservedly so. i am sure it will win. Beautiful work.
