wonderful imagination! i love the earrings you've made out of the whiskers, if only they were gold, id buy em in real life!

It's a good idea but there are some problems:
- Light source : those earrings from her right ear - left side of the image would not receive as much light as those from the right side.
- Edges should be softer cause they make the accessories look flat.
- Shadows on the girl are soft, but the shadow from necklace is hard, like the light source is really close. This discrepancy makes the blend look less realistic.
- also the Design of the necklace could be improved- it doesn't look to nice at this moment.
I hope you won't mind for telling you this, you should know that i appreciate a blending entry more than a CBR where lights/shadows are abstract notions.

Thanks Greymval! It's always easy to be "too close to the trees," and a sharp eye like yours really helps to ground me!
Never be afraid to point out these things, it helps improve my skills to have a "second set of eyes" pointing out where I need to improve.

As for the "design of the necklace could be improved," that's one I can say about a lot of jewelry...lol! It WAS a whisk, after all!

Lol, i meant that metal band around her neck- the shape ( & texture) is not continuous and when it reaches the shoulders it seems it has no thickness. I guess who can easily fix it with a pen tool and a bit of cloning.
The easiest way to improve texture would be to take a sample of the whisk enlarge it and clip it over the shape, while you warp it to follow the curve.
For shadows you can :
- use a different layer in which you paint with black soft brush.
- or just duplicate layer, threshold it , lower opacity.
At the end you should use gaussian blur and fade it ( in Edit) if you think it's too much.

You can also add a few solid color layers on top of the final result with overlay & low opacity, so it improves the general mood & blending.
Some people use lighting effects & overlay to level out the main piece & place on second the BG - just try different things until you like it.

Great work with the earrings but the necklace need some shadows...best of luck author

from where can i buy them lol

I know this is girly but this is one fabulous image...great imagination and very very well done...good luck author

Nice work!!!! but one line crossing over the shoe.. I dont know whether it is suitable for this work or NOT. GL

Nice! Just one detail: I don't know if it's on purpose, but in my oppinion it's better take off the edge of the heel and give a bit of roudness...

It is on purpose, Erikuri Wanted the shoe to resemble a boat, that's why the edge looks weird

nicely dusty (like a gray rose) wonderful

Thanks to all for the support!

Congrats!

I think the bathing suit and the jewelery are two different things but this is neat

still has more than one thing coloured sorry.

no it only has one hting coloured as clearly stated in the title. The accesories. Accessories include clothes and jewlerry.

ive already seen other entries removed for that very reason. Accessories are not clothing they are two words and two things. No offence author, it is a nice image but not following contest.
