Looks like there are more than 147 views of your photo but no one has commented. . .

I'm not really sure what to critic as it looks like you took a photo and put a "color pencil" filter to it. Should I comment on the composition of the image (principles of design etc.) or the photoshop techniques?

also, a little description of what you're trying to achieve will help to direct a discussion or directions I should think about. :)

Basicaly its a statment more for all art based content for the future. So I am looking for things like hey that is great but have you considered using this filter as well.
Or I love the colors on that bracelet but if you added a small bead to the left it would look even cooler.
Basicaly I am fishing for any and all commentary that could even slightly improve the work I am doing.
I just know I am starting out so I need to get better and I wanted everyone to know any feedback is good.

Ok, so your description above actually help. To me, Photoshop is a tool that help to convey a certain idea, concept. In knowing what concept you're trying to achieve, comes realizing what techniques to recommend.

If I squint my eyes and look at your image, everything seem to exist on the same plane -- there is no hierarchy, not really a point of focus. I'm not really sure where to look or what to look for. Once you decide what you want the audience to focus on, for the example the subject's hand, perhaps you can use lighting to emphasize her hand. Since the image is titled "Magic" -- perhaps show us some magic with tiny sparkly star dust surrounding her hand, etc. or maybe she's summonsing a crystal ball like this one and her hand is the brightest part of the image while everything else is fading away or dimmer in perspective. You can make her skin glow while you're at it and there are a bunch of ways to do that in Photoshop too. Then again, this could not be the direction you want to go into. I don't know...just making things up ( ... )
