I like this work because it is so classical in its concept and execution and in its atmosphere; beautiful, moody and it feels almost otherworldly. This work lends light and calm.Thanks for sharingQ

It is very pretty and especially to be clip art. The colors are vivid though pastel. So digital are is finding a picture on line and altering it?

Thank you ever so much, Babyduck! I don't know what the "p" stands for, but I like the "babyduck" part of your screen name. For digital art, you can use clipart or photos if you like, but I rarely do. The lotus here came with my program and I thought it was really pretty, so I spruced it up and decided to do something really simple with it. 99% of the time, I do my own painting. Again, thank you for commenting. :)MW

Nice initial impact and creativity of subject. Nice lighting, colors, and exposure. Like the ripples in the water and reflection. Nicely composed and cropped.

Pattigirl, thank you ever so much! Nice to meet a famous person, lol. So many writers on FS use your art. Don't know how you think of so many things for your cute little kids, but you have a drawing for almost every subject one could write about. I wish I could draw... what you do looks like so much fun. :))MW

I love these colours, they are so calming and yet inspiring. Very beautiful, and graceful lines and shapes. Nice perspective. Awesome image. Great work.

Right off the bat, your command of the digital rendering techniques is blatantly obvious. The mirror like liquid effect of the water is superb, the chromatic choices very well accomplished. Kudos!

Comment from soulfeeder
So magical. A beautiful work of art. I do not put water marks anymore, too. I love the lotus and its reflections. You did well, with the manipulations. High five on creativity. Those sunbeams are striking and eye-catching. Well done and is a beauty to behold.
