Noice. The arrow seems too short and while she has the bow drawn it does not look like the bow itself is being bent from the bow string pulling on the bow. Bird and girl are very well done.

It looks really good, though the arrow should be a bit longer, she'd cut her fingers trying to fire like that, and almost certainly miss. Otherwise the bow looks really cool, the costume looks great. I like that you made sure her left side was especially protected. The bird looks very good and is a great touch. Getting the proper hold on a bow is hard, I keep trying to figure it out myself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o9RGn… ; - this girl is amazing, and is a good resource for seeing how it SHOULD be done.
Edit: I found this vid of Japanese Zen archery: www.youtube.com/watch?v=egiXLX… ; - it takes a bit for them to shoot, but the girl talks about the differences in Western and Eastern styles of archery.

I wonder if, like her bow, she speaks with a twang.

Archery pose looks OK to me, admittedly I've not picked up a bow in years, but I used to shoot composite recurve too, held in my left arm, with the arrow just over my left thumb. the pressure button and sight fit to the right side of the bow as seen from the back. Never had a problem with it, though mostly I ignored the sight and sighted down the arrow. Easier to shoot a moving target that way

This is beautiful! But there is just one thing, the arrow is on the wrong side of the bow. When shooting a bow of any kind the arrow is always on the side of the holding arm so that you can actually see where you are shooting. This is all very good really, I just had to say that

It looks amazing, so did you used only 3D Max or a sclupting software like ZBrush as well?

The character is beautiful, as well as her armor and bow being exceptional and very unique! As an archer, I'm trying not to get too nit-picky, but there are a lot of things in her form that doen't happen in real archery, however. Still! This picture is stunning.

Everyone has a comment or two about something they don't like, but hands down from a person that likes Female Character 3-D art you have hit the ball out of the park on the stunning detail.
As I have seen other artist work over the years they have done very well with a detailed background which I very much like but when they did the character they lost the detail.
Look forward to seeing you're future work.......

One thing particularly nice is that the face doesn't give that scary zombie 3D impression that so many do. It has real character and real expression.
