Description

This is all I need now...a little peace.
Hope you like it, bit different from the media I usually use and create. Not perfect I'm not fully satisfied, maybe recreate later.

I also have the Wallpaper version of this one, so if you would like to get it drop me a note, I'll send you the bigger version or upload it somewhere :)

Thanks!

This is quite a wonderful manipulation and it surely makes me miss the warm summer days right about now.
The model is overall pretty well blended in the scenery, it feels as if she was there all along. The only part that looks a bit unnatural is the hair, the shades variations are a bit too extreme for how they would naturally be perceived in such a light setting. I'm guessing you used dodge tool set to highlights for that, but I would recommend using a low opacity dodge tool and gradually defining the light, even if it takes quite a few strokes to get there.
The other element(s) that looks visibly manipulated in the piece are the butterflies. They're a bit too large compared to their natural proportions, but I see the reasoning behind that because they would hardly be noticed otherwise. Another thing, just a personal preference, would be working on different scaled ones to add more depth and distance.
