Wow this looks amazing <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="23" height="15" alt="" title="Wow!"/>
I love her pose and the perspective and composition. This piece seems extremely well planned out <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> It's tough for me to critique something like this when it exceeds my abilities, but I'll do my best :3
I love all your use of patterning and the vibrant colours here they really draw the viewers attention to the piece <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Nod"/> also the way she looks directly at the viewer is another thing that makes this piece so attractive <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
The one thing I find a little weird is how the tree doesn't cast a reflection in the water and neither does anything close to the edge... or how the tulips are bright when everything around them is shadow; the other thing is that I can see you mix some colours in like blue in the tree, but if you want to try and unify your piece more with shadow and light you can try adding a slight bit of this or of other shades into each other <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> (if that makes sense) It might be interesting if you include small traces of colours from the water in the shading of the clothes for instance <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> (but that is more of an opinion thing and just something to play around with/experiment with I guess)
As for why I gave you these ratings, the art is very pleasing to look at, but is also very common for it's genera/anime art work your colouring style does help to make the piece your own though and that's why I gave you 3 for originality even though it's traditional to it's roots <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
Your style really shines through in how you colour <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
Overall this looks amazing and I wish I could give you better advice, but I don't know how <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c…" width="20" height="20" alt="" title="Clap"/> Thanks for sharing and great job <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> (I hope I did okay with this critique >.>...) Keep up the great art <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
