Nice piece, buddy.

Really like the snowy texture of her hair

This looks great!  It looks like it can be used for greeting cards for the holidays.  It captures the feel of winter well.

@sensiblesoap thanks!

@Lakelezz insane? good or bad? XD It's not exactly blurred it's just softened! Couldn't keep red since the colors would stand out a lot and the idea is having a more subtle background that would take less attention away from the portrait. Also I think I would have to move the portrait more to left if I was gonna use that background, since it being so pale yet pushing the portrait out of the canvas for few pixels doesn't make sense when it doesn't play a important part in the piece anymore. Thanks :)

Wah, nice but this alternative background is insane! Who came up with the idea of blurring the background??? You could have kept the red sky on the blurred on, too! : O

Great job either way : D

wow, this looks really great! I love the colors you used!

hehe, in theory it should never happen but I get a gazillion PMs all the time and being the most public Mod I get  most of it. I also do reply to all and convos happen...anyhoo, I am used to being blocked for a few hours every now again its my chill time >.<

Ohh I really thought I was pming you at bad time seeing the convo in chatbox happening, but I didn't know you had limits on replies. Mods shouldn't be limited at least!

Thanks a lot, looking forward to your reply! 

I have been on heavy convos today and the chatterbox has been on fire so I'm blocked from any more comments for the day (yup, there's a limit in PMs to prevent spammers and I far exceeded for the day).
I will continue our interesting talk which I was enjoying asap :)

Thanks! I figured you got busy or went to sleep haha :)

Looks great...unable to reply to your PM but will asap :)
