This is a poster / book quality image. I love it! Besides the excellent color blends and contrast, beautiful gal and garb, the one thing that really made me say "oooooooh" is the water trickling over the tile. Just that simple addition show what an artistic mind you have. Just awesome.

This is gorgeous!!!! Hugs Maria

Fantastic image, outfit and character!!!!!

I want her to check and mate with me too! 8-) Gorgeous character. Great pose and expression. Fantastic skin tone. Her suit and textures are nice but as a chess piece, shouldn't she go without clothes? 8-) Amazing composition and lighting. Superb hair. Awesome dedication.

Dear Ilona, Im sorry Im so late getting by - things are still hectic on vacation! Today I relocated to the new flight center for the Cessna Citation X training. Cant wait to meet the 600 mile per hour biz rocket this morning!!! And I moved into my new hotel, that is - moved in Meredith, 113 pounds - moved in luggage, 50 pounds estimated - moved in flight manuals, 200 pounds estimated - but something was still missing for that home sweet home feeling. Went to nearby grocery store and then moved in chocolate - estimated 2,000 pounds - now life is good!!! And I have to eat it all up before I leave - darn!!!! ;-) AND - I found a pizza joint nearby that smelled wonderful!! Went in and found they run a nightly buffet! Bad news! Little Meredith ate and ate like a little piglet with both trotters in the trough!! Got back to the hotel - got the internet going - tried to catch up here at Renderosity - suffered from severe full belly sleep syndrome - so I took a nap!!! Im back again now trying to catch up before the e-bots eat me alive!!! (Thank goodness they dont eat chocolate!!!) Speaking of chocolate, youve got to read this!!! Talk about music to my ears!!! I think this might be the secret to my success!!! Feeding Your Brain: New Benefits Found in Chocolate from Reuters While Im on vacation and doing pilot training, Im going to need to continue doing a lot of cut and pasting with just a tiny little real comment added!! Im really sorry, but I just dont have much time right now to write my usual wacko stuff! Ill be back on March 3rd!! What a cool use for the checkerboard black and white background!!! Great looking gal and superb hair!! Terrific pose bwtweenthe walls!! Fantastic outfit - love the skirt flying away in the breeze!!! Super fine job as always!!! Love ya!!! Meredith

I just thought that I should have a look into Your galery. Guess something went wrong with my ebots or fav's at all- lost as far as I know two notes Yours and cameras I thought I already set as favs :( What a wonderful image this is! I like the very special checkers back and the stuff You used in it :)

very cool composition - love the combination of all the elements and the stance of your character in the midst of it all.
