Thank you Noah for the thoughtful critique.
No one have said to me that i need a trophy so far,i would like to know which kind you had in mind
I know one thing for a fact though...the moment i get to touch perfection,i will explode in happiness 
But i doubt thats gonna happen to me in this good earth

I knew that refererence, and already thought about drawing it (I have several of those, but not enough time to draw them all 
I love the serenity you rendered there, like and 8 pm bath to get rid of the stress of the day, or a meditation gap.
Great work on skin texture.

Thank you very much my dear
Free of the reflection means to be free from people's expectations,leave your own self behind and move your reality one step further.
I am sure you will do something much more wonderful than this,one day if you pursue it,if this is what you really want in your heart,and if you are dedicated to your passion for art

Wow. Thanks. I am dedicated and I would love to be free of other people's expectations but sometimes for me that's not possible. I use my art to create a fantasy that may never come true. but it's my fantasy to live in. When I saw your drawing, I saw a little bit of my fantasy in there.
That's why I loved it.

Thats the essence of art itself.
We create a brand new world to fit in
Now if we happen to share the same point of view with more ppl then..what can i say?
the more..the merrier!

For me, art is something I can count on to escape. When I draw, I'm no longer in the real world. I'm in my own world. If there were more ppl like me in that world? Then definitely the more...the merrier!

Doesn't have the strong feelings of anger and sadness that some of your others but a very good piece. I really do like the idea or at least the idea I'm getting out of it. I am not sure if water was supposed creating the reflection, I will admit I turned it on its side and liked it from that view also, as if she were stepping out of a mirrior. Thanks.

It's not water. And i am glad you could see it
Its not mirror either..its a state of mind.She is leaving behind,her old self
That's why anyone can view it on any side.
Thank you Dennis!

I know people are just stating thier opinions but it bothered me, and it shouldn't, about the couple other comments I read about different details missing or should be different. Maybe because I wasn't sure if they saw the same meaning behind it as I did, which makes the image stronger to me. I look at it not only from the leaving of ones own self image but also the idea of being able to step away from the imposed images of what other people want a woman, or man if it were drawn that way, to be and also to step into the future without preconcieved images of what a person should be and to just be yourself. Thanks again for the good work and sorry for such a long winded response.

You do see!
and you have no idea how happy you just made me!
its wonderful to share a vision that can be hidden but obvious at the same time!

I think more detail can be added here like some water droplets, more hair wet effect. but otherwise the drawing is perfect the symmetry is the most realistic thing well done!
