This is AMAZING!!! You really captured the moment! the scene is so peaceful that it really makes me want to spread my arms and be totally free. Not thinking about anything just living the moment in a surreal world, full of warm colors and dreams.

Wow. This is amazingly beautiful. The colors, the way you spread everything and the entire fluffy, surreal look of the picture. Just looking at it wants me to print out a giant copy and stick it on my wall somewhere.

Your shading/highlights are absolutely stunning.

Wow. Nice work here. I love the color scheme and your style is perfect. I love the feeling behind this and actually, it reminds me of Dali's paintings a bit. Nice work and keep it up!

You should put a little person behind her pushing.

I think the whole Idea is that she WANTS that fall (dive) she wants to enjoy it and therefore she will spead her wings

This is exactly what I feel like doing everyday. Just drop everything, forget about everything and be so free like that. The figure's stance really emphasizes that desire. And the colors you used are so warm and peaceful that they're almost inviting her to jump. This is really awesome. Nice job.

SilentBeforeTheStorm In reply to nolipajoli [2004-05-16 05:13:00 +0000 UTC]

It's pretty big... 24" by 48" I think i might submit a zoomed in section of the girl and the sun, a lot of the detail got lost in this one.
