Oh, my Dears! I don't know but making sea manips amuses me so much. Playing water colours, from soft blue to intensive navy is true pleasure for me. And she is so adorable. I see Wiccan priestess in her pose. Lonely proud pagan praying to Goddess. When you decide to fight with demons, nothing is the same...

If you're interested, here are my another works.
Hope you will like and you'll enjoy it so much as me creating this work. ^^

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Since you asked for one,I decided to give you a critique.Please don't get angry at me if I did something wrong,I am new to giving critiques o:.
So let's start with vision.
I love the nice bright colours in here.They are rather lovely and they make the girl stand out quite nicely c;.I also love the whole composition of this.So I believe you did a good job on the vision part! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Thumbs Up"/>.

Next in line is originality.
Now I have to give you here just 3.5 stars,because I honestly see similar photo manipulations all the time.I'm not saying this isn't a good job,but the whole idea of the girl reaching out and being surrounded by sea is rather old and used already.Maybe next time you can mix sea manipulations with something more creative.I can't really help you here,because my ideas would just be funny and rather ridiculous XD. But maybe a bit of work on that.

Now we're coming to technique.
Your photo manipulations are splendid to watch and rather lovely to the eyes,but there is something wrong here.The shadows behind the girl seem to be too fake.I don't know why,but it just seems a bit unnatural,and it's rather easy to see she doesn't really belong there.I'm not that good at photoshop,but maybe if you play around with layers and textures a bit,you could get a lovely and a more natural look.But I have to say that I love the look of the rocks and water.They look like they were painted,and that gives them a certain charm! The sky is rather confusing too,but I believe it works nicely with the general idea.

And now at the last,we have impact.
I absolutely love your artwork.It so bright and when we look behind small mistakes,it's really splendidly done.All of your images always have this mysterious look to them,and I love that a lot.Same goes with this picture.It had a nice impact at me,because you can clearly see the girl reaching out,in sign of hope.Which clearly suggests that this image has a hidden message behind it.But I can't really give you all five stars,because of tiny mistakes :c.Never the less,this is a great piece,and one of my favourites from you.Keep up the great job!

Thanks for the qritique. I'm glad you liked it and I mostly agree with you. I had a really problem with adding a shade of her because stock wasn't enough good. I have to admit - it doesn't look perfectly. You know, when you don't have a tablet, everything seems to be more complicated and harder. But that's also another aspect - I really adore shades of different kinds, even if they are a little bit unnatural and overdrawn...
I would like to pay your attention on the sky. There's no sky! Only waterfall which I made so bright. It was desired. And you say that my idea of my manip you meet often. Yes, I also think so. But well, this work is metaphore of my problems, lost love and fears which still try to fight with me. It's like part of me. But I appreciate you as an artist and probably you know about it. It's your opinion and I respect it. Hm... that's all. Don't get me wrong, my dear. I had to write it. ^^

As a dance teacher; if she was my student I'd be telling her to relax her shoulders and to stretch her arms a touch more. As an artist; I love the colours, the composition and the concept but she really doesn't quite have the effortless grace and beauty I assume you were aiming for. Attention to the placement of those shoulders and arms will do wonders.

But quite obviously since I faved it I loved it

Oh my gosh! It's more negative than positive, even if you like it.
Anyway thank you for honest opinion although I don't agree with it completely.
I think that me as also an artist should respect critisms about my works so that's okay. But I have to tell you that she isn't dancer so her pose just for this reason isn't like a pose of dancing woman. She's more like ancient priestess looking for a hope. Hope is light and she has to fight but there's also fight of another kind. If you have ever felt what I feel, you can understand me. Fight in the mind. Sometimes it's so hard to have grace and fairness when fears try to kill us. But I also agree that she can seem to be a little bit razzle-dazzle.
