wow, thats really good! i like the way you rendered her skin, but i think you made her legs too skinny. well, i guess that could be said for her arms as well, so maybe its the style or something? theres also a sharp edge right below her right armpit that looks out of place, and it seems too dark in some places, like her left arm and hand, compared to the rest of the shadows.

how did you use the stock for the trees? some of the trees look a little too different from the woman, thats always something to consider when working with stock...

This is amazing. Really amazing. The landscape is *stunning* -- I don't know how the tree texturing works, but it *does*. It looks great. And *she* looks absolutely fantastic. The only thing I might suggest is putting a little of the deep shadow on the inside of her legs that you see on the underside of her arms.
Her dress and her hair are so perfectly rendered -- you can really feel the texture of both. And her features are so pale and pointed and Slavic, it's perfect for a character inspired by Dvorak. Wonderful job!

Very beautiful work. She seems very elegant and peaceful. The tree textures make for a great contrast.

This is simply amazing. I had the good fortune of listening to liturgical cello music while viewing this masterpiece (another one so skillfully rendered) and the effect was haunting. Her legs have that healthy sheen to them and the dress is breathtaking in all its painstaking detail. The only qualm I had was that of the left (her left) arm and the way that the arm itself looks too small (could it be the effect of the skinny-ness?) but the hand was at the right proportion.

Other than, it's gorgeous. Once again, you've outdone yourself.
