Comment from braided
Are you saying feathers, lace, pearls, diamonds, hats and aloof attitude make one sophisticated ? smiling
Well, no matter just wondering
like the colours and the muted feel to this
like the hat dipping over one eye
its an interesting looking piece for sure with pop value

Thank you so very much for the lovely review. I have not really thought of what I think is sophisticated. The title just seemed right,

Comment from soulfeeder
Indeed, a very sophisticated woman, and well decorated as well. Love the that artistic details, especially that feathered hat and these pearl necklaces. Absolutely, a beautiful woman, having that royal look in her eyes. Technical excellence, creativity and presentation, high five.

your welcome

Comment from shoregrass
Perfect title. A beautifully balanced piece with a lot of element to it, yet they all fit in together seamlessly and with not clutter to creature a very elegant piece. I also like how it shows off many of your layering and other skills in a new and original way. Very well done.

Quite an alluring image. Wonderful " feminine " details..the woman's face is super. When you mention ' stock images ' are they your stock images or from a place like i-stock ?? Composition is excellent and so is the post -production work.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
You a re advancing in a way in your style that 6 stars are even not enough anymore - this is pure professional work

Stunning composition showing fashion of an ancient times created in a splendid way with handsome details - the love to put in your work radiates - the beauty shines - the arrangements of the different subjects are perfection - the face in black and white soft and delicate placed in the background means for me that this was the person wearing these accessories during that special life time - amazing color managements, your choice of textures is outstanding - harmony is beyond.

Your image is outstanding, beautiful, elegant and radiant,you are entering a new spiral of evolution in art and design - super job
