Ophelia

I think Ophelia is theme so often used in photomanipulations and any other kind of art but I like that even thought you have taken such a much used theme, you have found little own twist for it.

The most catching part of this image is the background. I have no idea what you do with your backgrounds but the colors, the lights and shadows there. They are so real, but so mystical and so watercolor like.. They just look so beautiful to the eye. Those little detaisll.. the trees and bushes.. and mountains at the distance.. You have been working very well with distances: I mean.. Some people usually forget that when thing is at the distance, it gets more grey and the lines are not so clear anymore.

The colorschema of the image is good but I think you have had better ones. I love the colors on the mountains and sky and trees but that yellow-blue-green foreground somehow.. The yellow and green are not bad but the blue somehow stands out too much on the sides.

I adore the blending. This one has really brilliant blending as the model, trying to get her float in the water. That is hard, I know it myself but she looks very natural there and having her leg out of the water, that really seems to be the little twist. And all those plants what we can see underwater.

Good work with reflections, too..

Maybe one thing that little bothers me is that white thing above the model in water. I am not sure what it is or what it should be.

Overall, I love how you have taken theme so much used and converted it into your style with your choice of colors and your own little twists. Very well done.
