This has a dream like quality in it. All elements that go to make for an ideal landscape can be found here. Vibrant colours, fine balance makes this first rate.

Comment from Ramesh19


This is another one of your joyful creations. Love the fairy tale quality and especially the purple flowers. The humming bird a delightful inspiration. The white glow seems a little glaring and detracts a little. Maybe my monitor.:)

    Thank you, Ramesh. White glow? Are you talking about the sky? :) I'm on an older monitor at the moment, so yours may be a little brighter. My new monitor is still sitting in it's box. LOL. It got back from the monitor doctor about 3 months ago, and have to wait for hubby to help me set it up. It's pretty heavy. Again, thank you!! Shawn

Comment from Jode


I think this is just gorgeous - it immediately makes me think of childhood daydreams. The colors are awesome and the composition is lovely, with such depth. Would make an beautiful feature wall in a little girl's bedroom. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Dando104


I like this work. It is simple and calming. I like the softness of the girl, but I think that should have been continued through the whole work. Had the tree in front been hazier or the flowers not at sharp edged I think the piece would have been more inviting. Good composition and colors though.

Comment from Cephus


Well balanced composition, possesses a lot of elan and tells well the story of being young in a world that is full of awe and magic. The colors are radiant an the blue purple combination is wonderful. Creatively done with a lot of imagination and executed with good technique.

Comment from Creator's Touch


This is really sweet. A nice victorian flavour. Great colors and lighting, excellent tech work. I especially like the choice of jade green and royal purple (that's what it reminds me of). Lovely, peaceful and tastefully done. Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Robin Gillow


Bold, colourful and creative, this is a well composed piece that certainly tells a good story. The centre of interest and visual flow are also well considered. Little to fault and lots to praise. Robin

    Thank you so very much, Robin! As you can see, I did change it. Hope the changes still meet with your approval, but if not I'm sure Tom wouldn't mind ditching the review for you. I feel that if a piece gets a 3.5 review, it's time to make a few changes, which isn't that hard digitally. Of course, I don't always heed everything mentioned...a person would go crazy trying to please everyone. LOL!! Again, thank you so very much :) Shawn

Comment from Jorge Gaete


It's a fairytale image.
A magical garden with beautiful colors.
One can almost hear the bird wings beating.
A great surreal creation.
Jorge.
