There really is only one thing that I honestly thinks makes this piece any less amazing. The end of her hair, to me it seems like its the end of branches, which probably was what you were aiming for, but if you were hoping to have the hair look like branches, its not too obvious. They're in a pattern, which tree branches are not.
So, that was my only negative comment now onto the amazing aspects of it: the lighting.
It is a perfect job, and it especially stands out on the dress how it hits it and you can see every shadow, which actually takes my breath away.
This really is a near perfect piece.
Keep up the amazing work.
I understand you worked from a photo, although I think it would have been better if a different posture had been in place, her looking at the ground brings the piece down and in a more serious, sober tone that one wouldn't necessarily expect from a digital painting of mother Earth.
The creativity you took with the hair really makes this piece special, and makes it stand out from 'just another pretty girl in the forest.' The branches being carried by butterflies is not only lovely but also original and, of course, brings in that connection to nature which is imperative in something like this, but doesn't necessarily smack the viewer in the face with blatant doe, rabbits, Snow White themed obviousness. The subtlety is very nice and a breathe of fresh air, and shows a level of maturity not only to the piece but to the artist. The little glowing bits are interesting and pretty, though a little random.
The ground seems a little bland, it is after all a forest and the ground is completely empty.
The trees are beautiful and the colors are great, but I wonder what that layer is that is almost misty in the background? It seems distracting and out of place. I like the mist though, especially in the upper right corner of the piece, it really adds an element of intense realism; I feel like that part is a photo.
Overall, the simplicity really works for this because it doesn't feel empty as a whole, it combines cliche and originality well, and little details like the butterflies and hair-branches make this unique and a pleasure to look at.
May good fortune follow you, and may you continue to make beautiful work and improve by doing so. ^^
