Description I've been working on this all morning. I'm actually quite fond of it. Tons of painting and editing...it took a long time.

Looks very nice. I like the way you used the leaf brush.

As it has been said, the orb is excellent. The way you put the whole forest onto it and curved the reflection to mimic the effect orbs have. The forest in the background is very nicely done, with the green hues and details of the trees. The color and shape of her hair is done very well with a nice range of hue and shape. A few things are bothering me. I do like how the leaf brush adds to the magic feel of this and ties into the border, but it seems to consume the picture. A more conservative use of the brush would solve this problem. I can't imagine mother nature with heavy eye makeup and earrings. Beautiful image overall, I can tell you put some real thought and time into it.

Heh cool effects! Stars weren't very opaque, but still cool I especially like that reflective ball she is holding.

Its arealy well done, the effects, composition are flawless, howeverm the composure of the girl is a little astray, as it looks like she isnt really there. I htink some sort of a light green tinge, yellow haze would look good.

I really like the fact that her hair and the background has a very painted look to it.. it makes it very fairy tale like. Her eyes and the ball in her hands are exquisitely detailed and absoloutely stunning.. almost as if here eyes were made from the same glass as the ball. I think that the swirls of stars around her face and suck are a very nice effect, i personally would of liked it if they stayed specifically on her and didnt travel into the background.. she herslef looks very soft and loving which adds to the general theme of the piece..

fantastic work

VERy nice photo manip i love the leaf effects you put over everything... her pose is also very interesting... hm... the only thing is that she doesnt seem like that much of a mother nature figure tho... but that's just me nitpicking where theres nothing wrong...
