The symbol associated with this sign is the scales of balance representing the balance a Libra continually seeks in themselves and their life.
The scales were also adopted by our judicial system to symbolize a balance of fairness in the law which is emphasized by 'blind justice' holding them.

Heya!

This is really nice! The overall scene looks very tidy and well executed.

My only suggestions is to darken some of the brighter areas of the image - not the scales, or at least too much, but the flwoers and woman's necklace. Try adjusting the brightness and saturation so the flowers and necklace don't stand out as much.

Otherwise, awesome work!!

Thank you,and I can see what you mean.Would you believe I originally had it darker,but I thought it might be too dark.So I tried fixing it,but it seemed to lighten a little "too" much only in certain spots.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try and fix that.

I believe you. It's hard to brighten things and make them look realistic.

Happy to help

Well...I guess if I have to... Just kidding. It looks great! The flowers look really good as though they are part of a large tapisty. The woman's jewelery looks much more attached to the scene now too.

The scales look a little out of place, but I'm not sure why... I can't put my finger on it (well I can, but it leaves a smudge on my screen )... Try adjusting the perpective a bit and see if that looks any better or worse to you - no need to update this version unless you're happy with the result

Looks awesome!!
