All right, seeing as how nobody else is going to step up to the plate and give this gorgeous peace the critique it so rightly deserves, I suppose I shall have to take the initiative myself. Ahem!This is a masterpiece. Sunflower is radiant, her expression is serene, and her attire is elegant without "trying too hard." I've seen lots of Elves whose attire was so detailed it ended up looking gaudy, but this outfit has the right balance of ornateness and simplicity. Her jewelry is also very striking. I like the blue earrings most of all. They contrast so nicely with her hair and keep the ensemble from becoming redundant. The only issue I have with them is that I can't really see how they connect to her ears (which are stellar) and it distracts me a tad. The flowers in her hair are lovely without being showy, the top of her sleeve is great and goes nicely with the top of her dress. Sunflower's eyes are captivating. There's something elegant but very sad in them. The way you have the golden light shining down on her makes Sunflower seem all the more magical, and I really have to compliment how you used light overall in this piece. The only thing that I think looks a tad off are the three triangles on her forehead. Given the softness of the rest of this picture, they seem too sharply focused by comparison, and it causes them to seem a little disconnected from everything else. However, it's not something that immediately leaps to the eye and I only noticed it myself as I was studying the picture. This is easily the best piece I've seen by you so far, and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your work. Keep it up!
