Description ...Lost her halo.

I don't think she needs it to be magnificent..

what do you think?

----------~~~----------

Although the result might not suggest it, the making of this was actually a very intricate process with a lot of photoshop layers. Unbelievably fun to create. Origional picture might be in my gallery somewhere .(fireworks).

As always, don't hesitate to give feedback because it is constantly appreciated. Even criticism or suggestions. What would you do differently? What needs improvement?
Ah, and... please fullview to enjoy.

I do really like this, but why is the end of the sparkle trail hidden by the bottom part of the frame? You might want to think about letting the sparkle trail taper off into blackness or something so it doesn't look like the frame chopped off something interesting.

Oh I see what you mean here. When I took the origional photo (before the manipulation) I think that part of the firework flew off the frame. I'll think about editing that! Thank you so much for the comment and for visiting my gallery

first i have to say that it really looks great! Because you ask, would could have been done better, i think i would make a frame that is more inconspicuous... just as an idea

something about this reminds me of walking in a holy temple or sacred place. and mirrors. this reminds me of mirrors too. not um, bathroom mirrors, but mirrors out in life, like thoughts can be mirrors of yourself. this combines for me, the elements of movement with reflection. so very suitable title.

This is a really interesting piece. I really like it a lot in many ways, but there are a couple of little personal issues that I have with it. The image looks like its about 90% mirrored, though you said you put a lot of time into layers and whatnot so it might not be exactly mirrored. Anyways, it's almost completely mirrored and I guess that's where it gets to me is that it's almost (bold) mirrored. There's a couple of flares on the right side there towards the middle that look almost like they're another color, though I'm sure it's just an effect of the strands, and they drew my attention and took a bit away from it as a whole. Just my opinions.

Thank you for your comment I'm sorry i've been late in replying; I really do appreciate critique. I agree that it does looks mirrored, and is supposed to have some element of symmetry (to immitate angel wings). I wasn't sure what you were saying you didn't like about it... the symmetry? And as for the center-right side area, I couldn't see the flaw in the colors you mentioned But if I could, I would fix it
