Overall, this image is very captivating. The lighting and the colors all work very well and create the illusion of the creature actually being in that place. But I have some issues with the composition. The main tree looks like it is blocking the scene rather than being a part of it. And the creature is also a bit odd. I think the fact that we can still make out her legs is a bit creepy, as it puts her, um, special area right in the center of the creature's chest. I think merging her at or just above the bellybutton would have eliminated this issue for me. But hey, it's your creature :-)

Good take on the original. I especially like how you cleaned up the background to put more focus on the subject.

Gorgeous portrait! Love the rotated angle and the high key on the left. Fabulous process. Doesn't hurt to be so gorgeous either!!
