Well, this is the big one! I'm classifying it as a possible work-in-progress because I haven't printed it yet, and when I print it, I may discover things that I absolutely must change...by the end of the week, I hope to have the final decided on, and I will then add the credits (the photos remaining are the castle background and the maple leaves; the girl has been painted from a model photo).

After working on this FOR-EV-ER, I thought that I was actually getting done. But then at 3 a.m. last night I made the sudden (and possibly horribly stupid) decision to add the tree/leaves on the right. That was not a part of my original conception at all (originally, I was going to light the lamp on the wall for contrast), and I'm worried that it detracts from the dark/contemplative tone. But at the same time, it seemed that too much of the focus was in the center, and I think I need something to draw the eye outward and up.

Please, please critique and give me your thoughts on this, I will definitely take them into consideration when I make my revisions!! There are some other things that I'm not sure if I'm happy with, but I don't know if it would jump out to someone else--please say, if so.

All in all, however, I think it is one of my better accomplishments, as people are very difficult for me to do. If this turns out good at all, I plan to plot the actual 8533x6400 size (download for that size) for my wall, as a compliment to my Magic Window piece.
