Silent muse

I admit it, the first thing I thought about when I saw this was: is the owl real?
Then I fixated my gaze on your beautiful figure and how good you look: your pose, your outfit, the way the light hits your body and all that.
Everything is as usual: your clothes wisely emphasize your body, your style is extravagant but elegant and the overall composition has a wonderful atmosphere.
True to the title (and, I'm assuming, to the theme and purpose of the pic) the scene looks like it just popped out of some ancient culutre, with a little bit of Ophelia-style in it. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)" />
The only thing I find myself liking less is that, contrary to most of the other pics, this one lacks the "impact" you usually hit your watchers with... I mean the soft light-and-shade is very nice and the resulting atmosphere is very alluring, but I find this one a little too soft, as if the image had a little less depth than it could...
That apart, I absolutely love you and your work. Keep it up!
