Hi Nathan, oh my, this is so fantastically lovely, there really isn't much else to say! I am as always, looking for bigger, better and longer words, (smiling), as effective adjectives to to describe my perception of your work, and I simply can't! Let's suffice it to say, just simply wonderful! I love this little gal's facial expression, which expresses to me innocence, pleasure, and satisfaction, she is very pretty as well! Of course, the colors are awesome! Very nice, Sincerely, Marilyn

Just beautiful Nathan. It would have made an excellent entry in the dream contest. I like what you have done here overlaying with layers created with different programs. Very artistic! Patti

HAVE YOU THANKED YOUR CAEDES MODS LATELY? It is too easy to whine when things go wrong and too hard to thank people for the things they do for you on site: just think about it....GIVE A MOD A HUG or even a GROPE today.....just do it....:)

To me, it's mysterious, coquettish. And all the seemingly tropical growth, and jewells, add to the mystery. Very nicely articulated, Nathan.

This is so unusual and imaginative. A stunning image Nathan, full of mystery.

Love what you've done here Nathan. A different product from what we're used to from you... but still with your signature all over it. It's really beautiful!

You have done an excellent job on the layering in this image I like the colours and I think you have preduced a master piece out of the original. Excellent work and adds to the fav folder

Hi Nathan, Love this, you could look at it a dozen times, and still see something new the next time you looked.

Thanks, Tony. I tried to wrap the fractals in such a way as to follow the form of the face (at least in the limited way Photoshop allows me to). The fractals look like glowing tattoos almost.

Excellent work, though I have a problem I frequently encounter when viewing your work - there are elements I find stunningly beautiful and elements I really am not that keen on at all. (Especially awkward when everyone else is unanimously taken with everything!) In this case it is worse - I'm not even sure yet which are which.

All of which makes commenting a little pointless really. I might as well just say, "cfr was here" and be done with it. I guess I can say the colours are gorgeous, I'm not keen on the metal/jewels on the left, the background fractals/abstract flowers/sun etc. are beautiful, the eyes are lovely, but I'm not keen on the feline remake...

For whatever it is worth!
