Description
Took some of the advice I got on the first one...choosing a different sky was a pain, but I think it worked out alright (Luke, I'll kill you if you say the sky still need work....jk, seriously though, let me know if it still doesnt work...gah!). Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions on the first one. I upped the saturation a lot, and I think it helped give it a stronger fantasy-esk feeling. A lot of other tweaking...Original: [link]
Once again, thanks to all the stock providers!!

...truely gorgeous 323...comments: the water is: 'to die for'...the big ?tn - the sky! - ok, here's 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
my take...I love the whole composition as is, don't get me wrong, but since YOU brought it up 323...
here goes! My preference to the dramatic, even tho the 'normal' sky (ok the moon is kinda dramatic)
looks kinda well...windows 'normal'! ok, so I just love the water w/the pearlescentness of her gown
or kimono! MARVELOUS - My Sky!! - would have put some more 'SunSet' flavor in there/orange! but
not over-doing it, and maybe a few aqua-bursts on her gown, or burgundy! - the pic has the light/dark
thing working for it...lower half water & castle[dark], the sky being the Light upper part. It's a good
contrast. And...the sky is clear giving you that breath-of-freshness & clarity, for me it's kinda too
clear & squeeky-clean...I want a little more: LUSH to it. The water is lush already and her gown.
The sky would top-it-off, and since her gown is mainly of one tone, some hi-lites would set-it-off!!!
................Sooo, that's my 
*nods* *Nods* Ahh, thankyou for putting into words what I've been needing, I knew it needed more, but couldnt really put my finger on it...Lush..Lush... Muahah, I'll have to remeber that, so thankyou!

Nice work. Some of the edges look a little too sharp, but I'm a soften/blur tool whore.

I love this little slender image! Fantastic and a definate improvement from the first. Wonderful and exciting to look at ^^
the transparency of the strange branches (?) at the top is a little distracting. I would recommend shooting your own branches, maybe a cheery blossom tree if you have one available.

This is nice. I like this. There's something melancholy about it... what is she waiting for I wonder?

I like the moon you added in the sky, the less intense "black stuff" at the top, and the more saturated colors! But you ended up making it smaller than the last one...
The clouds work nice too, the horizontal lighting matches the sun set like clouds better than the cloudy clouds. Much improved (not to say the last one wasn't good though!).

Thankyou for the good feedback
I guess it still feels purposeless though or soemthing....i dunno, something isnt quite right with it....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't call it purposeless as much as reflective or emotive. What pops into my mind is a heaven and hell kind of juxtaposition. Except maybe have hell on top and heaven below or something, muhahaha... Either way you go, it's an excellent piece much improved over the first version.

Hmm...thats an interesting thought...I'll have to play with that...
Thanks again, it means a lot

awsome!!! I like your shot..!
btw..how did you made it so it looks like drawn?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The reason it looks a bit that way is b/c of how much I've worked with the pictures. The contrast and saturation are upped quite a bit, so it doesnt look like the sort of thing you would normally find in a picture. Also the dress, I changed the lighting by darkening the light areas and lightening some of the darker areas...so thats not really exact either. Finally the wate helped a lot...The picture used a special technique that gave it a slightly misty feel, plus adding in some of my own variations and voila! Actaully it was a long, pain in the butt proccess
