Title: Hail the Sun (nudity)
Name: Jesse Mead
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

Worked on this over the past few days. I planned this as being an oil painting but realized I wouldn't be able to do it as envisioned, so instead I used photoshop.

its a good work but somehow i am getting the impression like everything is frozen intime and space :) more like statues, hard to describe.

yeah, some motion blur on the leaves and her hair would probably help

nice work

Good foreground.

Maybe a more realistic background could let this piece even better.

Very nice piece! I really like the quality of the color and light. a
A few things though : Try changing the direction of the fur on the bear so that it follows the shape and contours of the muscles underneath. Some blur on her hair and the falling leaves.
As objects reced into the background they blur and have less contrast fading into the background color.
Lastly, try moving the tree around in the composition, even flipping it. Right now I think it echos the shape of her hair and the neck of bear. Playing those shapes against each other can create tension, and slow the eye in it's movement through the composition.
Great work, nice rendering! Do more!

Good advice guys, thanks. I did have that tree going the other way at first but it really bothered me for some reason.

Here's a close-up:
