I really like this picture. The characters pose is great and looks realistic. I love the white umbrella and the white owl on her shoulder. The dark forest looks wonderful in the background. Good work! :aww:

I know it's fantasy, but the lighting of the girl doesn't fit the trees shadows. Good realism otherwise :)

Thank you so much for the feedback. Amarathimi, you are too kind and gracious, thank you for your compliments.

Lostneuron, good catch! I used photo reference, which is always walking on thin ice for reference. She's standing in front of a line of trees, right in the sunlight, so she's bright while the forest is plunged in shadow behind her. Probably not the best idea for reference, but it was the best pose I had of her. Besides, that owl flew off as soon as I took the shot. :B
