...phew, this one took a lot. Three days and about 15 hours with Photoshop. 10 photos, all mine, combined to one. Lots of drawing with wacom. Goes strightly to my personal favorites, hope you like it. .n

Your "photoshopping wizardy" is top-notch as always, and the work is a very photo-realistic fantasy for sure...

What confuses me is the 'IMHO-not-so-well-suiting' combination of your clothing and those delicate wings...
I think the wings need to be emerging from your bare back...and, I really think that you would be stark nekkid, or have a more animal-like skin texture combined on your bare skin...
...Just IMHO... :)

Doruk, I agree you. That was only photo I got that suited this scene. Light direction was perfect, my pose was just right, and after a while, my eye got used to this contrast between wings and clothes. And after a while, I was pretty satisfied to pic, beautiful nude woman would be too obvious choice. Hmmm, I could make skin version too, when having time, and motivation. But you know, its damn disappointing to take nude pics from yourself, not being so supermodel after all. ;o) Thanks for critique. .n

@Doruk - don't encourage him, he's a naturist at heart I'm sure! @Niko - Disappointing for you is it? Oh, never mind..... I love the way you do this sort of thing though..... 10 photos? you make it look like 1... makes it seem so easy. V.nice. Only thing that's buggin me is the stark whiteness of that dot on the right, the one level with yer head - keeps dragging my eye over there. Could just be me, though! (",)

Well Niko, now we know what you are doing when you are not in the sauna or making snowangels. WOW what a puzzle,and you must have an angels patience. :-)) Of course you got to have wings. Great work on this, like on the other one.

Hard to believe there are 10 different photographs in this picture! Its put together so well it really does look like a single scene. The sky has a lot going on too. Niko, you keep outdoing yourself. I believe I can fly.......

Thanks guys. Its nice to have feedback from you here. In galleries, these gets only around fourty hits and five comments or something like that. I know, its not the amount, but still.. Phrank, I like the sky too. It was totally flat, so everything is constucted afterwads. Michelle, grin oh, you mean those www.antoonio.com/nudes.html -pages?
