Simply excellent work. I love to look at the stocks used and compare them to final piece, and I have to say that you did all the stock pieces justice. I also know how difficult it is to take a 3D image and match it to a 2D piece without it looking... well, odd. You did a very good job with the headpiece there.

It was only after looking at the stock images that I realised the wreck in the background was actually a ship. You did a very good job blending it in and making it appear to be the wrecked ruins of a city. The blending on this piece is fatastic, and I love the additions of the small items like the headpiece and the flowing material - they all add to the sense of strength and yet solitude. There is a definite feeling of desolation and despair, yet there's also a sense of hope and, like I said, strength. She seems to be waiting for someone or perhaps something to happen, or she could be guarding the last remains of her home.... it's a wonderful image, and very thought provoking. Well done - 5 stars.
