The Rose

ok this is my first critique so plz dont and i decided to stick to something i know, like photo manipulation, so plz dont slam me. Wen i first saw this i liked the overall dark shade and colors to the picture, as well as the initial idea. The tone really couldnt have been done any better but i noticed so many mistakes and the tone isnt enough to make the picture blend. The first thing i noticed was the where the length of the dress meets the stone was either erased with a soft eraser or overlapped in a layer blend, but it really stands out. I can see where u used the healing brush on the stone and lost alot of texture in the stone, witch really stands out. I can see various parts that u blurred to heavily like the pillar on the right and where her hair meets the stone. The stone that pertrudes out from under the dress on the left side is a different color than the rest of it. And though u might have done this on purpose, i would have evened out her body to make the legs line up straight with the head, but i can see clearly where the edge of the stone is under the dress near her feet so that works either way. The red on the roses blends perfectly with the rest of the picture, witch is extremely difficult to do with 2 colors that are that far apart so props for that. I love the color of the dress and especially the color of her skin. I thought she was a drawing before i opened the picture in photoshop and zoomed in. The roses on the outside of the windows were very nicely done and it looks convincing that they are coming through the end. Ive ran into all of these little problems many times and have come up with various effective methods of dealing with them so if u want some new photoshop tricks feel free to message me. Im sorry if this is harsh and i dont mean to insult u, but im assuming this is wat people want in a critique.
