This is a really beautiful piece, I especially love the flowers in the enlarged version. DA won't let me comment on the larger piece for some reason though...or maybe you just disabled comments and I am just being dorky. :B
Anyway, it's really nice to see this finished, because I knew it had great potential when you first started it.

Beautiful work. I'm always amazed by the amount of detail you put into your pieces. @___@ <333
Lovely art. Very graceful and flowing and ethereal. :'D
Oddly, this is reminiscent (for me) of the first picture I saw by you. I can't seem to recall the name but I first saw your art in Songjewel's contest. I think your signature art was like this (was it the same character?)... Anyways, I do adore your art. <3

Hi there, nice to hear from you ^^. Yes I began this piece a *long* time ago... its one I've worked on and off for over a year actually... like back in february 06 (well I took a year off from art would be more precise). Its changed along the way, as do my pieces which I spend extended time on learning something. This one was the flowers and the wings and trying to expand on detailing and texture... I knew how to draw wings with pencil, but not how to paint them. Now I do ^_~.
Thanks btw!

Gorgeous, Kimaya! The colors are so soft and I love what you did with the lighting, especially on the folds of the dress. And you got so many beautiful little deatails in it, like chains on the earring.
...and all those flowers
Really, a brilliant piece! I love her expression, too!

Beautiful work, miss
You have an image built on the shapes of curves. This I like. But on the right side of the image, in your background I'm seeing straight edge elements (rays of light?). Visually this pulls us out of the scene a little (and don't worry I'm consulting the full image as I type this as to not shoot myself in the foot). We get pulled in by the gentle breeze, the flowing hair, the twirl to the outfit, and then we're sucked up to the right by a group of sudden lines. While they are softly composed as far as the values go - this is an inconsistency compositionally. It's obviously not a big thing - but sometimes the small things add up. Something to keep in mind ^_^.
Recurring shapes are a big key to making a picture make people go "wow" 
That aside, thanks for sharing the detail to this. I love her hair and wings. They flow so well.

Heya chris, thanks so much for the crit... I was not too sure about those lines actually, maybe even feeling a bit compelled to put them in to account for such a huge amount of light? Do you think it would be best to just brighten that area without lines to suggest the light or remove the light entirely? As far as lighting goes, you know I have such a hard time of it. Or is there really no way to fix it now that I've gone and given her that very bright light source?
Its never too late for critiques for me... I work on things long after they are done if something is bothering me, and besides I can take it into account next time, especially since my focus right now is trying to understand composition of scenes (which is one of your strengths). I would like to eventually be able to do more illustrations (thats my goal anyway) and less character art. I know I am a long way from it, but I am headed that direction.
Thanks again

I wish I knew how I would fix it.... I really don't know. It is a fine space filler, but I think that without it you'll have a lot of empty space. I do like the light on the figure, it really sets her out well, I think the big question is "is there anything that you could put in that space that won't be overwhelming, but will still allow you to show off the light a little. Items perhaps, other figures, structures, etc. Maybe even pulling the petal element through there a little would help, then layer behind it something far in the distance like a structure or land formation.
Just little thoughts though. I've never been good with pretty things haha.

Ah, well I will leave it alone (easier that way and lazier too XD) unless I think of something. Thank you again for the advice, I will definitely keep it more in mind on my next images. Thats kind of a new one for me, the shapes, I don't even think I ever gave it thought before but it makes sense ... dynamics wise I am pretty much taking them off of the edge of the image with the lines.
