About the books props, I added the closed book because the opened book is not posable, so I had to find something to put under, and maybe that would look reasonable. about the dodge, I think that this is the effect I tried to make. if I would use opacity instead, the black background of the fairy will be visible. I cloud clear the background with magic wand, but it wouldn't look the same. about the wrap tail, you are right, I noticed that after I posted the image. by the way, the first reason that I posted the image was because I was not sure about the composition, you see, I studyed photography once, but it was years ago. :-) Thank you all for the compliments (I forgot how fun it is to get compliments) :-)
