Description This is one of three entries I have this week for the challenge.
The theme was One Upon A Time. This is my version of a scene from any fairy tale you can think of when the princess believes that her prince will never come or that he has been defeated, never to be seen again. This is the moment just before the happily ever after. Just before he walks in and says," Fear not, lovely lady. I shall always be here for you...."

A picture indeed says a thousand words. The place fits rightly where the manipulation should be done. A place that you only know. Somewhere you can only visit or a place of solitude and that picture says it. The rays was blended really nicely into the character/model of it and the grass as well.

But since the place only catches light in the windows adjacent to the gravestone and the hole at the rooftop i think the place shouldn't look brighter but a bit darker.

Another this is that the grave stone, it isn't well blended to the place which has a dominant color of brown. Brushing the gravestone with light brown i think can do the trick e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)" />

Okay, first of all let me tell you I love the concept, it's different from everything I've seen and yet it has a very classic air in it.
The scene is really interesting and natural; I get a feeling of realness on this piece.
I especially like the colors in this, warm and real.

However I do find the lighting a little off, lighting is by far one of the hardest things in this kind of pieces, so it's normal to find one or two mistakes. For example, the ray of light that is shining in the woman should be a little lighter, and it would change the shadows on the girl and the ground.

Also, I think it would be better if the dress blended a little better with the grass.

But overall I really like this piece.

Is this a picture? Or did you combine different elements in photoshop?

Thank you so much. I love the idea behind this club and would love to give you a hand if you need it. I can help with English stuff anytime and will be happy to post something in my journal about the club as well. I don't have a ton of watchers or anything, but I figure every little bit can help. If you need anything let me know.

I am also always open to critique etc. I know I don't have a sub at the moment, but you are welcome to post on the deviations themselves. I am learning more everyday and would welcome any suggestions you might have. You are an amazing artist. Thanks so much for taking a peek in my gallery.

Very pretty. And unlikely to bright colours, also very sad.

(And since I am me which is kinky, then I just have to imagine another princeSS coming in and stealing her away. The hell with men, long live princesses).
