I really like the feel of this. The only thing I'm not sure about is the surface she's lying on, which seems to be at an angle, tipping her into the water... and shouldn't she be casting a longer shadow on it?

The surface she is on is purposely at an angle.....will she fall or not???
Hmmm, you're probably right about the cast shadow. It felt right when I did it - always so in retrospect. I'll think about that.

Thanks for the input.

You're welcome. And did you see the quick fix I did on the ice cave image?

Just to add: Very good image.

I like the reflections very much (funny no stars and underside of board, but would detract I guess).

And just a thought, not a critique, in addition to Steve's shadow issue, and this is just my idea, please ignore, for the board if you could make it warping down, bit like Dali-esk, process of tipping/dissolving her off might be interesting?

Again, very good image. Thanks for sharing

Thanx, Trev. Some very good suggestions - I will consider. What I really like about about (can I call it) fantasy art is that there really doesn't have to be any rhyme or reason, you know?

Joey, I know and totally agree very much. You've not seen some of my paintings/images. Perfect the way it is.

I think your right there Joey, let the viewer discover for themselves, they might find something totally different to the artist. There's no rules to art, plus, if she falls off you can always do another.....
