Description
Entry for *WolfcatStock 's Secrets Contest.Well, I guess the basic premise of this picture is that she's a woman by day and a mermaid by night. Her true love doesn't know what happens to her after sunset...how can she tell him? Will he still love her? Good grief, that's corny
Oh well. I was feeling a little dry on ideas, so I thought I'd peruse my Contests Journal and see what there was to enter.Credits:

I always love your critique! Shadows and highlights are one of my weakest points. I've made some changes, does it show any improvement? Before I submitted I was really trying to get the highlights and "pop" that you've given me suggestions for before, but I still didn't get enough. Ah well, practice 'n' all.
I'm so glad you like it though
Thanks for all your help

It reminds me of Blue Peter projects - using foil in the sky painted blue 
The highlights are MUCH better - you really get the feeling she's isolated, under a spotlight. I know lighting is horrifically difficult in photomanip cos everything is lit differently - take a look at some of =cypherx 's work. She is a master of highlighting - look at how she uses pure white highlights. [link] is a great example of directional light

I sort of fiddled around trying to get some highlights like the link you showed me, but wasn't sure how to pull it off and had to settle for what you see now *sigh* I need to find some more tutorials

Oh and by the peeling sky I'm sure you meant the sky is falling right? That's the significance you were looking for. Or at least crackling.

Sure. I liked it fine before. My eyes must be sore. (Hey that rhymes)! But I can't see the difference. I don't have to re-fav it do I?
