I saw this in the contest. I really like it even more, as I have now been able to read your notes. The stories of old really fascinate me, and this one is no exception. Thank-you so much for posting it.

    Thank you so much for your review and the fantastic rating. These Latin American Legends are almost unknown but they are so fascinating as any others ans almost more because they are still alive and changing with the times. I hope my work helps to make these legends just a little bit more popular.

I really like the overall feel and impression of this work. The lighting is very well presented and I especially like the placement of the face in relation to the moon. Very nice technique. Well done!

An unusually colourful composition of a fantasy tale from South America.
Good focusing give a clear view of the girl's face and contrasts well with other background features.

    ok would you care to review my work sometime?
reply by the author on 13-Aug-2009
    Yes I will care to review your work sometime if I catch up to it. I try but at the moment I'm not good with it. I can't even catch up with my own art. I missed several contest's I had signed for lately and just did fall down 45 places in the reviewer ranks.
    Please be patient.

Comment from AlienVoyager


her left eye looks astonishing! the right one... well, it's kinda dark, and that really suit the personality you described in the note... a dangerous beauty!
i should say the combination is great here, very powerful!
great idea with the butterfly-like eye decoration and the flowers in the bottom of the pic..


NB: I think what you meant there in the note was 'mind', not 'mine' :)

    Oops! Thanks for the note on the mine. I really appreciate it. I guess the spell check tricked me.
    Thank you very much for your complimentary review also.
    Yes that is why I had the one eye shaded. She is supposed to be beautiful I wanted somehow the danger in. I almost tought it didn't work.
    The flowers are the Xtabentum vine belonging to her in original color. I was lucky here I thin the color just perfect for the story and the picture.

Comment from AlteredImage


This is a very appealing image visually and texturally. It has a nice layered feel and is very moody. I like the way she looms over the moon.

Comment from ccinchico


Now this is a story of fantasy...both in words and in photo.
Very unique shots, Cleo that you have composed all together.
Depth created nicely as well as that fairy tail fantasy feeling with the light's illusion.
Very well done. WHAT A DRINK!

    Thank you so much. These Latin American legends are so fascinating as any others but the aren't well known outside their countries. I try to help that a little.
Comment from Travlin1


This is absolutely engaging and is beautifully composed. With the moon in the lower corner and the mayan image. The tones support the story telling perfectly with the dark of the night. Beautifully conceived and executed. Well done cleo and good luck in the contest. Scott
