The water was already there - I just added another layer of a picture of water and set it to soft light I think thus adding more texture to the surface of the water! Thanks for the comment!

This is better put together than your mermaid because it's much more natural. Also the pastel-type appearance of the woman helps the mood of the work. But adding just a little more texture to her wings would've further perfected your work. Still a very nice peice, it indeed succeeds in conveying the mood you were looking for.

Thank you! I see what you mean about the wings - they are kinda flat; I will try and find a texture that works for it!

the dragonflies there are fitting there I think, but I think they need some repainting, they look so brush-y now, the same for the butterflies, but I dont think they are very fitting there. I guess both are too big, dragonfliess less then butterflies(then or than??)
I dont think the arm looks so weird, but I think there is a hand missing on the knee. or did you erase that one? didnt get that part too well, ehe
I think this could be from a fairytale book

Thank you for the comment and I had planned on repainting the dragonflies but I got tired of messing with the picture - maybe I will go back later on and do that. Also I don't know what I was thinking with the butterflies.... Yes I did erase the hand because when I cut the entire image from the stock photo it looked odd for somereason.. I may try and cut just the hand and replace it!

Thank you again for stopping by!
