everything about this picture is amazing, exept for the dogs, their hair need to look more fuzzy around the edges, now it looks like they have no hair. i wouldnt change a thing on the rest of the picture. really love the background, the mist really brings out the details and the glowing arches are a great contrast to all the darkness in the picture. excellent work!

Woo-hoo! New works from you!!!
I got a couple of quibbles, but mostly I love it. I'm concerned about the direction of light - I found it very confusing that there were shadows on the backs of her hands. Ultimately, I figured out where your light source was (lower left) and appreciate the dramatic value of that angle, so perhaps ultimately it's the setting that needs to cooperate a little better (cause, for her sake alone, I think you were right to put it there.)
I think the top cut off the archway is probably fine. I'm a big believer in " letting the viewer complete the picture" anyway, and I'm pretty sure your composition is solid as is. It might benefit from more headroom up top, but I'm not convinced it needs it. Overall, I think your setting is fabulous. The pleasantly foggy gloom is wonderful, the archway a perfect compositional aid which seems completely at home there, and the forest seems rife with quiet magic and majesty as embodied by her presence before it.
I'm not personally a huge dog fan, but it's great how you've used them here. Our eye finds her first, the white dog second, and the black dog third, creating a whirl around the image as we take it in (that's wonderfully reinforced by the archway). Besides just the basic strength of the composition, I think that white dog/black dog pairing is crucial and hugely successful to how well this works.
Most of all, though, I was just immediately bowled over by your freshness here - something about your colors and balance makes this feel so new from you, as if it's a very different atmosphere than we're accustomed to from your work. How can a scene simultaneously feel so thick with fog and airy with life? And amidst all the mildness of the forest is her own rich luxuriant green of her dress - that is an awesome dress! - and her own especially lovely golden hair.
Anyway, pardon my breathlessness, but it's been a long time since I came running to see a new piece so fast as this! Hope your new year is going well, and this is a sign of more great work to come!
