Description
I've been brainstorming through the day trying to come up with something for =xBluepearlx 's Moonlight Contest before the deadline. Having a big moon show up in the center seemed like the easy road to take and as I like to challenge myself I thought I'd make it as a reflection. This is what I got in the end. My only hope is that she accepts it even though it doesn't focus on the moon, but the light source is the moon and the moon itself is subtly incorporated in the piece.For =xBluepearlx 's "Moonlight" Contest.

thank you for all the kind words Kadri
I guess I had a sudden rush of inspiration because I was afraid I wouldn't make the deadline

I really find this piece beautifully haunting and very easy to look at. I like the way you incorporated the moon into the actual reflection.
But for the actual critique, I find the model very beautiful and her eyes are very startling but they seem like they're in the wrong proportions, are they supposed to be the center-piece or is the moon for the contest. On the actual girl, she has her silvered earrings, and those show up in the reflection but on the actual girl, you added another earring and that doesn't even have a glimmer in the reflection but on her, it sparkles slightly.
I love her hair beyond anything, I love the way it seems to cascade around her and that I think really gives her more life then just looking like some fairy girl. Over all, I love this piece but I think the actual reflection of her face could use a tad bit of work.

As for the model being the main focus and not the moon I've already explained I wanted to twist the theme a bit and not have a huge visible moon in the middle of the piece, so it's only visible in the fountain's water as a reflection. =xBluepearlx said it was ok cause you can still see it.
As for the girl's reflection, I wish the image was truly mirrored so it would make things easier for me.
But thank you for your critique, it's always nice to find insightful critiques on my work

It#s beautiful! She looks like Fang from Final Fantasy XIII (is it her?)

I am not familiar with Final Fantasy characters, so no, it wasn't created with this Fang in mind. But I'll look her up, you got me curious about the likeness of the two

I had it printed at home and at a local print shop, but somehow it never turns out as it should in print actually. Instead of the blue-purple tones it was designed to have, in print in comes out yellow-reddish :S
