This is so beautiful. I love the muted colors. It reminds me of the Decemberist's song "The Crane Wife"...

Everything about this piece is elegant and beautiful. It looks as though it could be painted on silk. I especially like the cranes closest to the foreground. The curves of their wings and necks are lovely.

I love love love the simplicity of the background. And the cranes. And the color scheme. Something seems a tiny bit off about her neck and shoulders, but I could easily be wrong. Otherwise... this picture is distressingly perfect. D:
CURSE YOU FOR YOUR ABILITY TO DO BACKGROUNDS.

I'm notoriously bad at shoulders and necks, so there's probably something dodgy going on there, I agree.
also, nice to see you again!

Likewise :3 I only recently returned to DA, so I'm trying to make up for lost time by admiring my friends' pretty arts and weeping disconsolantly over my comparative lack of talent XDD

Very nice -- I liked it before I read the description but in a scary quirk I just watched Flying Daggers yesterday and the song is fresh in my mind...

it's a pretty awesome song, isn't it! I seem to recall the lyrics being neat in English, but I haven't read a translation of it in a long time.

There's some nice parallel about a first glance from the beautiful woman having some consequence, but that the second brings down the entire city.
BTW, I forgot to mention that I liked the color choices and implied shapes in the picture. Really -- very nice work!

I like how flat the image is, like it's come out of a fairy tale book or something. And the soft smooth colours are really pretty.
