I'm finding myself holding the same expression (no, not with my hands!...my jaw)

this is such a riveting image. Hate to disappoint you but it's mainly her facial expression---not to diminish the angelic body. I'm left puzzling over the precise intent/message, if there is one. I'm seeing lots of layers of theological understanding smeared in with taboos and traditions. Very fascinating because we are really left with our own reactions and interpretations. I get the feeling that everything was going fine for this spirit being, until it sprouted breasts and a crotch and then after that, everything went to hell. Luckily, she doesn't have to reach up and straighten her halo

Nice shot of the lady. The wings and halo could do with some three D work or bevelling. At the moment she looks as if she is standing in front of a screen. I like this composition so I hope you will re-work and re-submit and inform me of the results.
Great idea and photo.
Cheers.

Fay & XP1, thank you both for your time and influences. I shall try to put into practice some of the suggested alterations and hopefully I will end up with a final image to be pleased with.
Regards....Phil

great idea phil..i think the only problem is the model is quite contrasty compared to the wings..maybe a touch of deepening on the wings and blending with said lady would suit it better?

Excellent idea and well put together but again for me mate it is the quality of the wings which lets it down.
Really good other than that Phil.
