So. I made this for AzaleaLexis on her birthday. I was inspired by her lovely custom-title and avvie. I hope I did it justice. <3

Lavviiiiiiie.

It's so pretty. :3 I'm so glad you linked to the background image; I'm totally going to keep that for later use in other projects because it's awegreat and so serene.

I really have only one major critique that'd possibly make this better. So. Look at the image; scan your eyes left to right, and see if you can see what's bugging me about the girl. Does it come through? Her being, her--while translucent--lines are harsh and defined a bit too much against the soft, white/black/blue/gray background. It's the addition of red tones that does her in. If you have her layer saved somewhere, try toning down the red, turning the spectrum a bit more to the blue/gray side--but not enough to where she has no contrast...just enough to where it isn't so much of a jagged edge, I suppose.

Anyway, I'm totally jealous of Lava! This is awesome, and I know she'll love it.

Hope this helps,

Wowiie! It's so angelic and serene.

First and foremost, I am awed for your technique of combining images because it looked as if the three images were originally one. Secondly, I was truly amazed because you combined those three images brilliantly that the togetherness see mutual.

Plus, I think it's a great idea to give someone a gift that you worked hard on on their birthday.

Kudos to your pics,

Pretending in words was too tentative, too vulnerable, too embarrassing to let anyone know.

Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
