I most say, I was so stunned when I first looked at this image. It just amazed me. It was such a clever way of approach the concept and the contest this image was meant. And when I saw the original stock and saw the original stocks I was even more amazed. To turn those images into that.. to come to the idea of making something like that after seeing the model stock: I most say.. Brilliant idea and also brilliant execution.

I adore the work on shadows and light. Everything is on it's place. No mistakes. This work overall looks for me as the perfect example of flawless manipulation. It looks so real, so paining on the same time, so beautiful and mystical.

I have always loved how you manage to make your image talk. You can look into those eyes and they catch you. You can look that face and there is such a clever mystic and magic, some secrets and little laughter hidden.

And the details.. I have no idea how much time you spend on it.. but every detail.. it seems so polished, so.. perfect.. And I have always loved your way of paining hair.. this work really brings it all out and makes it stunning.

I really think this is one of the best works by you. It is so original, so striking.. so polish and flawless. And even if it is quite dark work, there is so much details and so much color.. something we can rarely see on dark art.

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.
