First, I just want to say you did a wonderful job with this and everything came together so well! I love your stock choices, layout and coloration.
I think you did a great job with the lighting and reflection on the girls face. The only suggestion I have for the lighting is that right below the knee of the lower leg could possibly use a bit more shading. The leg on top should be casting a shadow down on it I think.
Also, you may want to do a minor cut or eraser between her toes on the lower leg as well as the white between them caught my eye.
Lastly, just be careful with the fading of the grass. If you look closely, her hand, foot, and dress appear to be a bit transparent with the grass.
Overall - this is great and I think you did an excellent job! The word "magic" is definitely portrayed with the light in her hand. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="

First of all--
thanks for your lovely critique!I hadn't noticed her dress was looking transparent so im glad you pointed it out..will be careful in the future
As for the white space..i remembering masking it..probably got lost when i duplicated the layer..
and 2 days after making it i realized the white space under her right foot!
Im still haven't mastered shading so i appreciate your comment..need to get it perfect!i will i will!

sorry for my bad english
very warm, bright and lovely work.
you made your image a warm and attracting attention. I like the style of the text and the content itself.
girl radiates light and warmth. love and peace. warmth and tenderness. magic.
once you have turned a sharp transition from grass to the texture. it has turned noticeably. but on the whole image resembles a postcard.
I think everyone would have been nice to get such a card on the Valentine's Day. I really like your work.
You chose good resources and made it a pleasant and charming. Amazing and beautiful. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

thank you so much for the critique and your lovely words
you mentioned a sharp transition...do you mean the grass near her feet?because yes i had some difficulty with that since the stock photo left out a bit of her toe and i wanted to cover that..i admit it didn't turn out right
