The arrangement is nice, but I somehow get a sense that something could be added, maybe a mossy covered rock in the background. This piece just feels a little more empty than your usual ones. I also agree with satur1 that the hair needs to match the motion taking place. another issue I have is that the water, excluding the splashes at her feet, doesn't look like water, but I do understand the complexities of creating water in any art form, seeing as in 3D renderings and video games it is still an almost impossible feat. The texture and light variation on the hair are quite good as always, and I feel like there is descent attention to the folds and crevices of the clothes. I also feel like there should be more emphasis on the knee caps so that the shading looks more like shading, and less like bruises/ blemishes. All in all, I hate to admit, but I feel as though this is a bit of a step down from your usual quality of work, but I still thank you for your time and effort and for sharing this with us.

What do you think?

It could just be me, but while I can see where you've worked on showing the movement of her hair and clothes on the swing, for some reason it looks like they're swinging forward while the swing itself is going backward. I'd suggest working on the effects of motion in your work, because this isn't the first time I've noticed it. While you art is beautiful and full of colour and detail, there just isn't much life to it. Even when drawing people, they still just look like still life and blend in with the backgrounds a little too much.

I also like how you've created the water being splashed up by her toes; your ability at drawing such cute feet is what drew me to your gallery (being a foot fetishist; lol).
