Waiting

I’m not entirely sure this is finished, I ummed and ahed over whether the colours were right (I have an all blue version but I kinda liked the inverted/multiplied colour effect) and whether the placement of the fairies was right, whether anything else is needed, I’m just not entirely sure. What do you guys think?
This started out as a roller ball drawing on cartridge paper, digitally manipulated and layered over a beach photo I took on my CX3700 P&S (x 2, one layer inverted), then layered with photos of my daughter with fractal “wings” and “halos” added. Butterflies added with a PSP special effects brush.
New Zealand-made. :)

Very very cool! I think it’s great as it is. I’m always wondering whether it’s enough, but I think you can get too caught up with making it perfect, and most of the time I think less is more! Well done I love it!
Tara Lemana replied
Cool, thanks! I know what you mean about sometimes getting caught up putting more in, have to be careful with that! Wasn’t thinking of putting more in so much as changing some of what’s there, but it’s good to get the feedback, maybe I just need to leave it alone! :)
