    Thank everybody for good words for my previous works.
    It's a new cover for book, dedicated Middle-Eastern romance poetry. Everything created in XaraX.

    Hello Koshka,

    Overall, it looks really good. You have done a fine job. The lips stand out a little too much for me. I wonder what others here think?

    The main character image is fine but the background is very heavy with fractal's Needs to be broken up a bit more. Try stretching the fractals out by double and see if the sky is not a bit more subtle. The sand color just seems a bit to intense as well.

    I think the image and the lettering a really great though!!

    Hi Koshka I think it looks really great, now I just wish I could read the language.

    Koshka,
    Really a good image! Sometimes when I find it hard to get just the right shade or tone to a specific object no matter how many attempts I make, I find that adding a slight bit of transparency actually does the trick. Maybe you could tinker with a little transparency on the lips? Really great image, Koshka.

    Hi Koshka, Ron,

    I found that if you can not get the shade just right, It is because there are two shades there. You could always try a fractal plasma with almost the identical shade.
