Nicely done Maria! Very nice! It does look as if she is underwater...good job...I can't wait for the rest!

Wow!! This is amazing! I hope you decide on making a series on all the elementals. If you do I shall be looking for Air. ;D

Lovely - very sympathetic and careful attention to the images and the subject - well done.

WONDERFUL!!! Great job Ria!!! I cant wait for the rest! Im looking forward to fire! I love this water one though. its soooo cool!

Wow Maria! What an image! Maybe alittle disturbing, but very, very well done! Very unique and special! Vicky

Hate to say it, but I'm with Vicky on this one. Just a little bit creepy, just the way I like it. This girl looks as if she's trapped in a frozen lake, her hands pressed against the thin, blue layer of ice trying to find her way out. Absolutely bonechilling! Great job!..=]

I have a feeling "fire" will really creep me out! ;o Can't take away any votes from you on this one for my unsettled feeling though. The composition is quite well done. I like the water image you chose too. The only thing that doesn't seem to fit is the broken up font. The rest of the image flows and blends so well. I really like the color too.

very cool manipulation...she seems really in the water. very well
my new "Guess WHO is"

You are definitely going places with your art, Maria. Don't ever give it up, because you can accomplish great things. I'm very envious of you being able to find your muse so early in life. I didn't find mine until I was 40.

This was done well. I think this is a wonderful image. Me, being a water sign take highly to this. Great picture. Glad that you decided to create this. Nice work.

This one is my favourite of the four. I think it's a good representation of this element. I think i would get a huge surprise if i looked in a lake and saw her staring back at me. nice work!

Hi Maria ! A very simple title for a very lovely piece. You did a really great job on this, wish I had half your skills & talent. Judging ftom your lady there, have you ever considered an Arthurian series ? She would be perfect in a more natural setting, holding a sword maybe, titled "Lady of the Lake".

Very nice job, but I do agree with some of the postings here that even though the image is beautiful, there is a disturbing quality. I think there is a sense that the girl may be trapped - not hurt or harmed, but unable to break through. This may very well be born from the mind of the beholder, and of course, that would be a valid artistic intention.

Hey Maria, awesome pic. I like it a lot, but like in the other comments it does look like she is trapped underwater. I also like it how you put the title of the picture in it. Looks more professional. Anyways I like it a lot!!!

Hey I really like this a lot. Great mood and feeling, I also love art surrounding the elements. Good Job!!

Awesome work but she seems to have the look of someone drowning >_< awesome work though ^_^

A beautiful image. She looks like Ann Boleyn in the 1500s. The water is such a brillant blue and a nice light shade-love the white sparkles too. This is a fav for sure!

Hey Maria, this is a cool way of portraying the water-ific element of water : )

Great job

Hey Maria :) This is cool work! You're really talented with manipulations ;) This picture, and as the rest of your images are very catching! Great job on this.

I love this picture. The first thing I thought of was the Lady of Shalott. Great work.

That is really awesome. I love anything mystical looking. And its very artistic! :) have a good one.

"The Lady of the Lake"...Arthurian Legend...That's what I thought when I saw this on the "featureds" section...Nice older creation...Favs...
