Lovely idea and lovely photo with good story telling ability, initial impact, and presentation. Good color harmony, details, and clarity, too. Lovely low lighting...nice work.

Thank you so much for another supportive review. I used the low light before sunrise to my advantage.

Nice idea, but the girl doesn't seems to be blended smoothly, looks very odd, and if you had lover the opacity of it, that would have given the more realistic and spiritual feel, All the best for the contest.

Thank you so much for your review and suggestion. I didn't wanted a realistic fell because it is an metaphor but not realistic. She is not human. I in purpose admitted a diffuse glow filter to get this opacity and accentuated the edges because she is a spirit. I admitted several paint and drawing filters to to soft the human look I was planing to insert a painting not a human but couldn't finish the painting in time so I chased the girl.

I admire your culture in mythology, overpassing through your work - this lowely face must represent a good spirit - amazing combination of photos, skilled technique - beautiful result.

Thank you so much for your complimentary review and the compliments. It's easy for me to know about Mythology. Coming from Europe I learned it in school, later it was part of my job and now I'm sourrounded by it living in Maya land were legends are still alive.

Thank you so much. I can't help myself. I need the stories to do the work. I can't get anything done without a story in it, just for the beauty or the heck of it. That doesn't work for me.

This will be such a treasure for a lifetime. The sky is a perfect color and complements her eyes. Absolutely lovely. A beautiful girl.

What a nice idea for this unique and thoughtful MM presentation. Yes, tree are living and must have spirit and now your photo is a proof of this. Good expressive work. Good technique for blending photos and creating this wonderful final image. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dazzleme
What a very unqiue and creative way to do a mixed media. Your effects have worked so well here. Nicely done with the use of the digital image suite for this. Your technique has worked well.

What a beautiful little girl Cleo. I love the painterly look you have given her. Your layering works wonderfully on this, her nearly ghostly feel is great to go along with your story and you know I loved that!

Yes I know ypou loved that. Thank you so much. I had her planned as the personification of spring but than changed my mind.
-
I can see her as Spring also. She is such a pretty little thing :)

She is very pretty, and I don't even know her name. I got this photo in a dance competition I had permit to photograph throughout. [An complicated job do to the light]. Different ballet schools and young professional dancers were the stars of an very enjoyable performance. I hope she sees the picture somehow.

a beautiful collage expressing the spirit of trees, and nature
such a lovely see through young girl expressing purity of the spirit, and innocence
the shot is very simple yet rich in story telling, a sign of cool creativity
