the only thing that doesn't seem to fit, for me, is the rose in the snow. other than that, i can totally picture this being a weird virtual reality/video game moment that is hard to find but worth the hunt.
nice work.

Thank You for the very nice thoughts. As for the Rose, what I was thinking was that this is a new beginning, a fresh start, a new romance. As she's all aglow on the morning after on the same balcony where it all began the night before. The rose signify's a love blooming in a symbolic perspective, as well as a gift/declaration of love in a literal sense.

Does that make sense?? See what I was, at least, trying to convey??

Anyway, Thank You and I'm reall glad you liked the piece.

Oh yeah, i understand the underlying symbolism of the rose, from both a cultural and an esoteric (magickal?) point of view. I simply didn't find the specific placement/representation of the rose to be harmonious with the rest of the piece. that's all.
i hate to debate aestetics with other artists, though, because in the end (most of the time, at least) both parties somehow wind up being wrong.

Hey, nice job! I love the composition, and the cutouts are very well done. The only thing I have to say, if I can give you a tip, is about the color adjustments... the colors should blend better together, so that the whole work doesn't look like a "collage" of different photos. But it's something you'll learn with time and experience. My earlier works are terrible, I have to admit it and I have to thank the deviants who gave me good tips if I have improved my skills so far. You're talented, and I think you can do very good things!

Thank You Very Much. I know exactly what you're saying about the "collage" feel, and I agree completely. I definitely need to get better at that and being able to give a piece and consistant "feel". But alas, I've only been playing around in Photoshop a handful of weeks and I've barely sctratched the surface of what it can do. But I do think I'm making progress (or at least hope I am), and one day I may be able to give you a run for your money!! LOL!! Now you can see why admire what you've created sooooooo much. It's breathtaking.

Anyway, thank you much for the kind words, encouragement, and critique. I really do appreciate all of it.

I'm glad you appreciate it... I was a bit unsure about the way you might feel about it. But you know, the only reason why I tried to give you some tips, is that I saw a "good hand" and potential, so I thought you really deserved some constructive critique to improve your skills, instead of the usual "good, great work!" that of course is always appreciated, but it doesn't help to get better. I don't feel "arrived" at all, and I still have so much to learn, but I'm happy to share the few things I know. So - just a little tip - try to play more with the hues, color balance, and lightening in each piece of the "collage", and you'll find your own way to make it look more "real" and not fake
I can't wait to see more from you! If this is what you can do now you're new at photoshop, I can't just imagine what you will do with some practise and experience!
