Criticism II – theresa’s blends and collages

I would like to post Theresa’s blend for Penelope Cruz here… which i think is beautiful:

Of your 3 blends and collages, i especially like this one, as it just looks so sweet, elegant and befitting of the catch-phrase ‘walking in a fairytale’. I really agree with the colour scheme of different shades of pink and grey, which i think is perfect for the theme. The faded splashes and deco in the background add on to the dreamy, artistic, ‘fairytale’ feel, as i think they add more soft touches to the blend. The whole thing evokes a feeling of elegance and ‘feminism’. As for areas for improvement… i find that the outlines of the big flowers on the extreme right are a bit weird and doesnt really fit in.. so perhaps they can be blended in or something.. maybe the radial strips of pink and grey can also be changed to pink and white/lighter grey.. so that it’ll make the blend look more tender and innocent. One interesting thing, though, is that I actually prefer the blurred version of Cruz.. haha cos i think she looks prettier and younger and more like a fairytale character when her image is blurred. *no offense! XD

Yupps! perhaps i shall try out digital works too! they definitely look interesting! :D
