This is a lovely soft looking, very restful picture. The curving lines emphasise the subject and the beautiful smaller translucent flowers add interest. A painting one could look at every day and never get tired of.

Unique and beautiful. I love the soft vintage look and the beautiful pink like the wild roses here. Great composition and initial impact.

You have a wonderful eye for color combinations. I admit to not every even trying to do multi layered images, but if this is the result, I think I have to read up on the process.

What impressed me the most is the feeling of depth you have created with the over lapping stages of "fade". The very slight touch of orange in the upper corner feels like the sun creeping into the image.

Wonderful!

Very pretty and original! It's almost like the smaller, less opaque flowers are faeries or fireflies the way they add light to the photo. Yes, an ethereal quality to the image. Perhaps I might darken the pink just a bit because it's almost being eaten by the faeries, but it's also fine the way it is. I like the image on the left side where it looks like a little face of a critter from another reality. Yes so nice to try new things.. Don't you just love Topaz?

Thank you so very much for the lovely review and I do indeed love Topaz. It is just that a lot of members think using the Lens Effect is also adding all the effects seen in the photo, which is not really true. I only use it for adjusting colors, add more high light and perhaps add a vignette.

A beautiful delicate image. I don`t begin to understand the technology that created it but I like it. A very good start to the new year.

Nice colours and clarity
Translucent qualities
Beautiful

Comment from Kbanich
This is a beautiful creation. All the elements are in harmony with each other and consequently achieve a very whimsical feel. Yes - surreal meets real in this piece; and I might add they get along famously.

I find the shear, translucent layering effect you have used as your background to be very supportive of the effect. It's like a sheer curtain of other magic happening behind the scenes.

The very faint fairy on the right hand side, assist with the illusion of fantasy. But she blends in and you have to find her. Therefore the fantasy world is not over powering the natural world. I've looked repeatedly at the object - opposite the fairy and can not make out what it is. Each time I look at it I see something different. I'm sure this is not your intent - but the fact I see different things offers an element of abstract and again furthers the magic in this image.

The colors work so well together and evoke a feeling of a carefree / magical place. The images used in your layers are suburb as is your skill and knowledge in editing.

I have no recommendations (sorry). But I find this image to be very pleasing and can not think of anything I would suggest doing differently. Very attractive - a pleasure to review. Kathy

Beautiful and delicate color. Good lighting, clarity and sharpness. I love the great depth, that give the aspect of 3D, like the nice exposure, texture and details. Excellent background, and good contrast. Well done
