Critique by *FrozenStarRo Aug 9, 2009, 2:50:43 PM

Mixing photographs with fractals is generally a bold choice and not many can pull it off. Your work certainly falls under the category of masterpieces in terms of mixing the two because the fractals work great with creating the magical feel that is the essence of this piece.
The only thing I feel is slightly off-putting about this piece is the excessive golden coloration of the piece. Maybe a broader color pallete could have made a bigger impression on me.
Still a very creative work in my opinion and the amount of work and effort put into it is certainly visible.

What do you think?

I like the gold color pallet you have chosen. It gives the impression that the fire doesnt come from just her hand, but consumes her entire being at that moment
