I've had this on my hard drive for what seems like an eternity - opening and closing it frequently, it never seemed to be right. Up until today that is

The girl is from *faestock - one of the most beautiful model stock accounts out there.
Not only I know this though, so this is one of those "has been used a million times" images. But I guess that was the challenge here: I loved it the moment I saw it in my watch and this time I refused to pass up on something just because it had been used so often before... so I had to try and do something different with it - I hope I succeeded

Btw, the background texture can be found on my stock account *kuschelirmel-stock - I'm not sharing the feather brushes, but some of the shots used to create them are over there, too.
