Hey! You've been featured in my monthly journal: People of Many Kinds ([link]), Keep up the excellent work. Also check out my Mini-Contest also posted in the journal. Take care fellow Deviantartist.
This would have been a very good composition even without the floating apples... a fun trick. The girls has a great face, but the orange eye shadow and nails is a bit to much. I looked at your gallery and several very nice examples of portraiture. I also like the fact that many are captured as to look unrehearsed. Really nice work.
Lovely!
