A very soothing tranquil image (and I'll bet that's what you were going for) :) I wish I was there now. On the suggestion side I'll mention lighting and in this case probably the adjustment I would suggest is in your materials. Consider the posts on your porch and the back of the woman. Her back is very dark and yet you can see all of the shady side of the posts. Visually you're saying two different things. To bring them both into the same world I would look at the material of each and see what the ambient setting is. Either raise the woman's ambient number higher or lower the post's ambient lower. Your choice. Also, on the woman were you going for the "wet look"? If yes, good use of the specularity. If not turn down or off her specular. The appealing aspect of the picture for me is its "lightness" so I would be inclined to raise her ambience. good luck

... there was something wrong in my figure, but I wasn't able to find it. I just opened my eyes. Regarding the wet look of the woman, I was not looking for it but once I see the figure I decided to maintain it so because I liked it.

Thanks, I'm glad to be a secondary pair of eyes.
