This is AMAZING. At first glance, I was halfway convinced it was a photo! Honestly, I can't find anything that needs improvement here, your work has such great quality to it, so I gave you full marks for everything. Anyways, I'll just babble about my favorite parts of the piece!

First off, the overall colour scheme is absolutely gorgeous. The red really captures the eye's attention, and is also drawn in by the pretty glittery effect on the girl's hair as well as the red cloth and her lips. The black background creates a wonderful contrast too with her skin, so it's quite eye catching.

Your attention to detail here is awesome! Everything is so real and lifelike, I love it! The one part I particularly enjoy is the shadows around the girl's eyes. Very soft and real looking, not to mention that the proportions of her face and upper body are great too. The transition of her hair to the glitter is quite smooth and it blends well with the rest of the piece. Again, fantastic, beautiful job you've done here. :)

Truly astounding! At first I thought the thumbnail was a photograph but then I blew it up and saw that wondrous particle red hair and was blown away. The blending of the oils is flawless and really shows off the subtle blues and pinks that go into a very ivory complexion. But the hair is breath-taking. I just love how it breaks so naturally and with such style...like petals blowing away.

Am I believing my eyes. I thought this was a digital work with lots of effects and maybe two or three programs used until ... I realised it was an oil painting. All I can is that you're ... a legend ...
