This is gorgeous! I love the attention that you have paid to the fine details--the individual strands of the peacock feather, the reflections of light and colour on the girl's skin, and even the blood vessels and shadows in the white of her eye. The composition is also really interesting. I love the different textures placed together--the glossy-ness of her lips and eye with the softness of the peacock feather and her hair, the smoothness of her skin. The colour palette is wonderful. It is interesting how the colours of the feather are echoed in the colour of her eye, the background, and her hair. I cannot find a single aspect that seems to need improvement. Overall, a masterpiece!

Amazing picture! Seriously I could stare this for hours!!

I like the colors very much and also the pose. The eye of the girl stands out and the peacock feather looks very realistic. The red hair is nice contrast to the otherwise so blue work.

I also think the lips are well done. It looks like there's some kind of pattern in them. Also the the skin is flawless! You have clearly put some thought to this.

The background has lovely shades in it and it doesn't take the attention away from the girl.

You are a very talented artist! Keep up the good work and let us enjoy your magnificent art!!

I like this picture a lot. The only thing I don't like are the wisps of hair extending from the actual feather. The black outlines make them look choppy and unnatural in comparison to the woman herself.
