Very creative - I'm sure you had fun with this one.
Thanks! It was one of the few times I knew what direction i wanted to go with it instead of just playing around to see what would happen.

As AndyH commented, the bottom of the woman's dress could do with some work. As it is she looks a bit like a cutout. And as well as looking like she's floating, she also looks like she's a bit translucent. Perhaps a touch of shadow to ground her a bit might help.
Thanks RG. I am going to try erasing small parts of the skirt so it looks like the grass is in front 9f the skirt instead of under it. A little burning I think will help ground it.

Kenie, this is a marvelous creation. The tones and textures are exquisite. I couldn't decide if the lady was meant to be a spirit or not but there is a strong feeling of emotion.
I appreciate it Carol. I was going for an Emily Bronte Jane Eyer feel which is why I put the tower in the background. The woman in costume is a mannequin from a 12 days of Christmas exhibit I shot. I knew I would get around to using her.

That is my thought precisely - a very ethereal, wistful image but the hard lines of the skirt seem out of sync with the rest. Overall, a wonderful image and, as usual, great PP work!
Thanks Tommy! It is one of the few I have done that I think tells a story.

I believe I fixed the issues with the skirt. I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions. I think I am going to have this one printed on canvas.

Excellent! Just shows once again how far you’ve come in such a relatively short time. You are becoming a master at post processing, my friend. And an inspiration to many who are just starting down this road.
