Description
"Golden Wood Dryad"The golden background is a photograph I took in New Zealand at the film location for Lothlorien in The Lord of the Rings movies. (A place called Fernside).
The tree is a banyan tree I photographed in Hawaii.
Model: Sarah Schroder
In all of my artwork, I, Susan Schroder, am the artist and photographer. All elements of my work are original to me.
I do not use stock photography or stock art.
I am the photographer for all background elements and also the model in the image.
The fantasy effects that are not photographic are digitally painted by me, as well.

I Like lots, just something with her left arm doesn't sit right, the light section over the trunk... But otherwise it is super.

Thanks for the comments.
When I did this picture it was very experimental and I was trying lots of new techniques I had not done previously. Ultimately, I was quite happy with how it turned out and it has been an extremely popular print.
I do have plans to do another dryad soon which I hope will be even better
