the Maiden and the River

Reminds me of a Waterhouse painting! Nice treatment.

I love this.

i really enjoy the text and the rippling water. is that a book she’s holding? this is captivating, there is more going on than the initial view. is that a bridge in the background or a fallen tree? so much going on here. i have to fav it so i can look at it again without having to search ;) nicely done, Thomas.

Beautiful composition. The effects are extremely well done. Amazing work.

very nice and subtle layering, you have another beauty!

np. I wouldn’t be able to come up with something like this , even if I dreamed I could.
Very original.

VERY nice!!!
Love all the textures and depth here – beautiful!

Wow, that is awesome, I really appreciate the effort you put in I have yet to compose anything in Photoshop, as I have only a hacked version, and last year I decided I was not going to use it, I would like to be legal about, but alot of people whose images I have seen are really tempting me. Once again Awesome Work, it very elegant.

such beautiful work.

well, enjoy it :)
you deserve praise.

She is so beautiful & looks so serene. Wonderful & tantalizing

LOL (don’t tell the f.b.i.)

hah, money. baha, i haven’t made any money off this site. I don’t think I ever will :p
At least not till I get better at what I do:P
I wonder how much you can make off an image like this…hmmm

Yep makin money on this site would be a bit difficult, you would have to sell a large volume of work…. Selling originals from connecttions you make here or getting shows that’s the ticket!

AMAZING as always Thomas! Love everything about this.

quite lovely thomas

So incredibly beautiful. Wonderful work.

Wow! -you’ve done it – a true pre-raphaeite piece. Well Done!

Wow – this is just outstanding in every way – I could never do anything as good as this but you definitely inspire and motivate me to have a go – so much detail and the tones, darkness and textural effects are perfect.

Look.. I have a hard time with those 3D pics in the mall.. I am glad he told the secret. They are still hard to spot for me.

this is lovely…

It is blooming…
She is a human flower.. with white petals..
bending her body towards the water…
And Viriditas aroound her.. is turning a brownish autum…
dried leaves of crispy touching..
ripling music under her fingers…
A dream…
for a loneline maiden..
in love with her reflection..
like Narcissus.
