very nice. I like the concept quite a bit. I would have used less of a feather on the girls, but otherwise I think this is well done.

I really like this piece, although I would have liked the girl in the frame to be more precise on the edge and less blurry...just so it goes with the rest of the pic. Good work none the less though!

Thank you ever so much, my darling, for taking the time to visit me back
I so adore your digital skills and conceptual pieces, I wish that my abilities in that area wouldn't be so limited and amateur, but I guess I will be just fine, because it's a sheer pleasure to admire someone as fabulous as you are, and wish for a day when I might become a little better with manips.
Thank you for the constructive comment, I appreciate it so very much!!
I'll take your advice and might try to do some changing and editing, it might come out better.

First off, I love the use of colors Only suggestion I have is that perhaps shrinking the frame so it isn't as wide since it goes past the boudnaries of her body, but that could be complicated, and cause an alteration of the way they hands look like they are holding the frame (which I happen to like).

I don't know about a talent, I just tried my luck with some Digital work.. I love it to bits.
I always get to see such marvelous and ravishing pieces of photomanipulations, so dark and graceful.
I felt that I had to try make one myself, this particular piece is not very satisfying, but I'll be attending some more digital work in the future.
Thank you for your time and comment
They are utterly appreciated

You say my manipiulation of Akorahs is good.. well this is one of the best Ive seen from this stcok form Kittyn. Youve been really imaginative. To me this image is so meaningful its like theres a part of her inside trying to reach out to someone or something.. and even though she looks at peace on the outside her green eyes reflect the inner turmoil inside her.. Beutiful work.. and so good for a first manipulation!!!

I am so tremendously honored that you have actually taken the time to view this lousy piece, I am so lame at Digital Art I could hardly feed it to my dog or put it in my kitty litter-box
When I first came to DA all I wanted was to expret in those dark art manips, I so wanted to be great at digital stuff and I have envied all of those magnificent artists that create new worlds out of the most simple images ever... but even after I have tried so long and so hard, I simply couldn't, and I went back to my origins - which is Traditional Art and portrait drawings.
I have been drawing for several years now, but wanted to do so much more.
I guess I am good at that, and that's a comfort, until I try my best at other fields

I can't possibly believe that an astounding artist like you might happen to like anything of my Digitals, yet I thank you so very much for this comment and that you do like it... it's like the biggest compliment ever

Thank you my darling for your ever touching support
I really am honored to have you here

You are so lovelry!! I wish there were more people on here like you I love your drawings and your skill at creating an incredible likeness is amazing!! I saw Apnea at the skin rubber ball and your likeness of her is amazing!! You def have a talnet for drawing.

I used to draw and paint but now Im studying graphic design at uni. Ive not been using photoshop for long and i was utter shite at it for a while, I guess you practise and you get a lot better.. take risks and dont be too precious.

Your one photomaipulation is really good.. i dont know why you look up to mine when yours is just a s good if not better.. If you keep creating images like that you will end up creating the amazing worlds you get inspired by.. I never thought what Ive been doing was possible, Im so rateful that poeple on here are letting me use their stock photos to play around with, my only limit being my imagination..

Your comments are ever so precious and kind, I cherish them forever
Thank you my dear for your marvelous love and attention. Your support means just so much to me.
I think that most of the people that I have come to know around DA are much nicer and are much more adorable then I am, but loving and adoring others is all I do - and I utterly enjoy it
It's wonderful to support great artists, it just makes me feel so good about everything and people should be always appreciated for their gorgeous works, so I am commenting and appreciating always.
You are definitely one of the very special artists I've stumbled upon, you're a Deviant of many talents.
It's not only the excellent performance of your pictures that I love - I also adore the conceptual ideas behind them, and the way that you manage to convey them.
I'd love to see some new submission from you and maybe some drawings.
I'm more than sure you are more than just skilled at that
This community is really amazing, I love the enormous variety of stocks we have here, they're very useful

Don't ever stop creating sweets, you're too marvelous to do that

I'd have to say that, honestly, the lips are my favorite part of this piece. Love the color. Definately like the way you kept the darkness, but added splashes of color... and the eyes... you could see those coming from a mile away, eh?

Unfortunately, I am not the gorgeous lady that I have manipulated and you would have realised so if you have taken a moment to read the description of the piece.
