love struck

Hello waterfall, I would like to critique this piece for you, I hope it helps you get better.

This piece works well for the message you are trying to communicate. The model is in her thoughts thinking about her love and smelling flowers to enhance the visuals she is creating in her mind. The magic around the flower gives this work the extra it needed to crossover into modern art.

The most important aspects are the face, the flower, and the title. Not having too much color or busy elements help keep the focus on what the message is. You accomplished a lot by combining the stock and I can tell you worked hard to keep it clean and realistic as if these aren't separate images.

I don't see any mistakes, but I would like to say that some of the elements can use some refinement. Her eyeshadow covers up the lines of her eye, so it looks like she put too much coverup. The hair across her should can use some highlights to catch the magic from the flower. And also her nails should be just a little reflective. Oh wait, they do have that non-shiny nail polish don't they? I guess you were going for a non-glossy look there.

The balance asymmetrical across the top which is exactly where you want it to be when doing portraits. Excellent contrast between her skin and shadows. Nicely composed because you took the time to make it right. I like this style from you, very soft and magical.

Thank you for sharing, we hope to see more from you soon.
