Beautiful and stunning!
Perfection in design!
Perfection in color blend and contrast!
Perfection in the Utopia!
The woman - perfection ... in movement and color ... possibly not in "mind and soul."
Perfection in photo placement ... off to left and off to right ...
A beautiful photo in response to historical significance of story! Touching!

Awesomeness, wow. I had to stare at this rare piece of beauty and felt like I got no words to utter. Every single matter in this snap is artistic, am not that eligible to judge this beauty you have created. You are truly blessed with curiosity and imaginations. I admire your abilities to turn a snap into an art. Deserves 6+ ratings, I just have used up all. But am gonna rate it as soon as possible. It's an amazing creation that catches eye and amazed. Wow. Thanks for sharing.

This is perfect layer work. I assume that you used three photos or maybe four, because I am not sure if the castle is a painting or a photo. This seems a modern interpretation of Shangri-La and its metaphoric meaning. The woman could walk on a modern street even in her long skirt and sandals. But, the view from behind, her hidden face, her graceful posture, the architecture, the cloudy foreground and the perfect depth of the composition lend a timeless feel and a feel of immortality.

    Thank you so very much for the lovely review Cleo. I used two photos. The castle is clip art.

Annie this is a beautiful work of art. I wonder what parts are photos and what parts are effects. The foreground smoke is great. The columns, castle, moon and woman are all very sharp in focus. Incredible DOF and multidimensional effect. I love the light to dark. Hats off to you.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Interesting info notes.
An interesting initial impact.
Impressed modification with a floating feel as opposed to your description.
Visually soothing and very appealing.
Tall format & off centered positioning works aesthetically.
Diminishing perspective. Vanishing viewpoint...
Repetitive pillar design adds depth.
Harmonious colors.
An artistic rendition. Monochromatic scheme. Excellent details & features. Impressive setting & textures. Thanks for sharing...

    You're welcome for these dozen posts! I feel like you don't want to comment on my works anymore, why? Is it because of .....?

What a grand bit of layering!!! I love the lighting and the color over this image. The filters are wonderfully placed and the lighting has a grand way of telling a perfect story. Wow! Thanks for sharing!
