Description
Would love some tips on this one;
- The wings are located in the middle of the back but look like they're offset. I wanted them spread across the screen, but it doesn't look right. If i rotate the body then i lose the nice angle. Any tips?
- The water in the foreground is green, not sure why. I was hoping for a blue or grey. I would have thought the grey would have reflected through from the building. Does this need to be fixed in Photoshop or can it be done with some changes to lighting and/or textures?
- Any other constructive criticism is welcome. I'm new to this so i won't take offence to any negative feedback.
Thanks
EDIT: Finished this now (although i noticed a slight problem with the shoe on the right leg). Thanks for the help ShannonSuzanne and GrandmaT.

It looks nice. I see what you mean about the wings and sometimes I have problems like this. Usually what I do is just move the wings around; unparent them and move them. You can put things where they belong or should be, but sometimes it just doesn't look right. I often have to do this with fairy wings. If she really had wings they would be angled some more-maybe try rotating them counter clock wise just a tad to follow her body angle. Have no idea about your water though. I don't know unless it's picking up on the grass? Maybe if you add some blue to the light? Or put a blue light over the water. Maybe a "caustic" light would help? If it were me the water just distracts. I would ditch it. It's a great job otherwise.

If the water is over a textured "ground", the color of that texture will show through the water. I sometimes put a "false bottom" in water areas to counter the main ground texture. A second water plane underneath the main one that is less transparent with a color closer to what you want. I might give you the effect you're after. The scene as a whole is looking pretty good!

Thanks for the tips. Playing around with it now. I should be able to post up the revised version tonight. ShannonSuzanne, you were right. Cropped the water and shifted the wing. Both wings now sit on the left shoulder and it seems to look more in proportion (as long as i don't take an aerial shot). I also adjusted the angle of the wings as well (not too much though as i wanted to show off the feathers). Oh and i added another light to get the shadow to fall on the correct side of the face.
