I have a LOT of good and only a little bit of bad to say about this piece.

First the good. Your technique is really beautiful here! The colors are stunning, they just steal the show and I love the contrast of the green lilypad and the pink lotus, as well as the contrast between the fish and the color of the water and hair. Really good use of perspective here as well, It truly creates a three dimensional illusion. The concept itself is very beautiful and has an almost dreamlike quality. Her hair is flowing wonderfully in the water and truly looks like it is moving. My favorite part about this piece is the ripples, I think they are what give this picture that final touch that brings it to life. They give the picture even more movement so that it seems the hand might just keep coming out of the water.

Okay now my little bad *sorry!*
I feel like all the brightness of the picture is gathered on the left(myleft) of the painting and it takes away from the overall effect of the painting.You have a large fish, her pale hand, and the lotus all on one side, I think I would have moved the fish, or have extended the one pictured in the bottome right. I think it would have been more balanced.

That said I don't think it detracts much from the picture and having something a little off balance is intriguing if nothing else. This is a very striking and beautiful piece, wonderfully done.
