I am kind of at a road block on this one. I know about the problem with the hair, its because it is so big, the hair moddle isnt supposed to be stretched that much, I will fix that in photoshop. I would like some feedback on what the scene could be missing. One thing I want to do is to have it look like a spot light is shining directly into the camera but have her inbetween the light and the camera so that all you see of the light is what comes around her body, I cant seem to get it to look right. Other than that as a whole what do you all think.

Is there a story to this picture? Is there a message? If you had a story, then it would be easier for you to finish the picture.

Something I noticed is that you've got duplicated terrain in the background there - and you can see the duplication! Try revolving one of the terrains so that it looks different from the other one. I like the ice-storm effect - but think that you need to add some transparency (or texture)to the skirt material on your model - something more 'icy'. Also, a bit more expression on her face wouldn't go amiss - I find that I get good results by applying expressions made for Mike to Vicki faces - they're sort of 'bigger' and come across well. As far as the lights go - try turning off sunlight, so that you have control over all lighting. Turn everything (clouds, atmosphere etc)off in the sky lab that you can find, until your pic looks practically black, then add lights one at a time - it's much easier that way! As for the hair - well, since I got my Wacom tablet last week, I'm all for drawing it in postwork - but to make it a bit easier - try rendering the hair in solo mode, and saving the result as a separate pic. Then you can use it as a separate guide layer in Photoshop, draw over and around it, then delete the guide layer out afterwards. If that doesn't make sense to you, let me know and I'll try to be clearer! (Solo mode is accessed by first selecting the object you want to render separately, then clicking on whjat looks like a 'stop' button at the bottom right of your screen - between the 'forward' and 'back' arrows)

Something about the skirt on the dress, hmmm, I'd ditch the skirt part leave the bodice and give her legs an icy tecture that goes up into the bodice, white hair or pale blue is icier, white skin with frost on it would also add to the "ice" queen look, as for the background you need some height variation, either pillars on either side same as her height or smaller mountains to give distance, and a pale blue overcast sky would also add to it...I wish I knew poser better, I could give you an example...all this would add to your image...IMHO..=)

I'll agree with losing the dress and going with the white. Reflection on the skin to "ice" it a bit. Mountains in the back, make 'em sharp and a white/grey/blue to them for an ice texture. The color you have at the bottom part of the mountain is nice, just move it up and literally sharpen it for the ice. Jagged, baby. If you can, redo her in poser and turn her head so she is looking at the viewer of the image put still moving in the direction she is currently moving in. I like the eyes, but, I say lose them and give them a signle shade with a slight glow on them. I like the swirling wind/snow around her. Not braking your chops, but I just laughed to myself thinking it was Alice in Wonderland on a bad trip after taking the red pill.

Because I like to blow $%&# up.

Don't fear the night.  Fear what hunts at night.

Thanks for the input guys, I am gonna work on it this weekend.
