I love the magic effect. The shading in this makes the image really stand out. You have a very definate style. The details on the hand are exquisite. I love this image!

Two thumbs up!

I love the lighting. Her skin looks like its glowing with the light the magic casts onto it.

Wow. I thought this was done in a 3D program from the thumbnail. It looks really great. The hand could not be more perfect, which is saying a lot. Not only that, but the magic makes her absolutely radiant! She seems to be staring at it so intently, too. Amazing picture.

If you want criticism, then I would suggest doing the inside of the ear a different way. It looks just like concentric circles the way it's done here. And I guess the hair could be a bit different. Right above a person's ear there are usually small hairs, and I think the way her hair is tucked behind her ear would show a little of that.

Anyways, I love this picture! I think my favorite parts are the glow on the face and the forearm/hand. ^_^ Great job!!
