very interesting. I would love this just on a plain black background, to me the choice of background has no use will hold vote for moment

Are these supposed to be eminating from her? If so there are a few strays.. Bottom right, another next to her shoulder on the left, another in line with her eyes on the right.. Also if its mother and child, would the child have similar styled hair?

title is the MOTHER'S FORTRESS... not the child's fortress.. her hair is her defense against all that would approach her child and she will defend it with all her being.. and the fragmentation of the hair makes me happy

Hey, where's the child's hairs....

LKY, LOL Smart A$$

nice maybe blur the background a little

good work

nice

Interesting image. Here and there you added some shades ,which works well. But I kinda miss them behind the statue itself (and then I mean a shadow from the white statue on the coloured strings), it might get the whole image closer together. Good luck!

nice work

ohhh i like that much better, i love the colours you have created on this image well done, got my vote and goodluck author.

Interesting idea it like a sea anemine.GL

Great image! I like the hairs and the background as well, simple and beautiful!
