Natures Thoughts II

I did something similar a few years ago, but this time I started out with a beautiful black and white photo!  I mostly used blurring and blending modes to achieve the colors, very little painting was involved.  I know there are not many stocks, but it took lots of work getting to the end result.  Plus zero cutting out.

Stock credits and much appreciated

What hits me straight away are the bubbles. Almost wispy thin and nearly not there.......the back they are close to blending and then you give us bubbles on the front of the image.......so  much brighter and clear, with lines sharp and their whole entire being almost real. Her face is looking outside the frame like most good great masters did with their main character . Eyes of violet staring almost with malice but she holds it back like a good model should. 
That gauze is amazing too , i can feel its hardness and rigidity. I like the colour scheme too , its a great picture. 

ps - love the fact that you add in places where you got the images borrowed.

No don't know her found the image on Pixabay.  He has two images of her in different poses one in color the other in black and white which I used.  The color pose is here pixabay.com/en/the-fear-anxiet… the sheer fabic is a bright red which to me was a little overpowering.  So maybe that's why he posted the black and white in this pose.  Keep wondering if I was doing her justice, it is a beautiful black and white image!  I tried my best not to destroy the natural beauty

For me, you created a lovely image with soft tones and gentle curves. The picture in B&W is good but i always think B&W should have a hint of colour somewhere. I went to look at his other picture and yes the red is a little harsh. You choose well.......
She reminds me of the girl in the Arabian Nights story.........Sheherazade
