Thud. Sorry Emily. Another reference to mermaid Ariel and her "fishy" tail. The contrast of Elizabeth's red (and plentiful) hair and the aquamarine blue of the dress is rather strong. Also perhaps because each of my daughters had their own "Ariel" for the longest time, and would dress them with all kinds of ballerina dresses and make up all kinds of stories to "explain" to me why a tutu really does belong on a mermaid. Guess your image gave me a flashback to those times.

Oh, hahahaha. I gotcha now.

That is... NOT... where my mind was taking me. :biglaugh:

Lovely girl, beautiful quality of light on her, beautiful dress. However, I agree with the others about the background distracting from your subject. Props for sticking to your guns on keeping it that way though. I don't think the wrinkle or textured background is the problem as much as the obvious creases on the right side where the canvas had been folded.

Regardless, beautiful subject and a terrific job making the dress!

It's ok to do same this anyway I can understand how u feel I did some works that differently from the other works. It gives more pleasure to me once I saw the result of my works.
Cheers! be proud for who you are.

If you wanted it more wrinkled you could experiment with masking off the background and pushing the contrast up on it. The mask could probably be pretty crude. Just feather the edges a bunch and don't go too crazy punching up the BG.

Thanks for the suggestion!
