First of all . . . WOW. You've used color flawlessly and with just the right amount of intensity. This effect is augmented with a good use of light and shadow. It's great that you've lit the hair around her face, which gives her a softer, more ethereal look. The light is coming from our right side of the image (her left), so the left (her right) side is shaded appropriately.
My only critique-- and it's more a question than a critique, really-- is, shouldn't the hourglass be lit just a little bit more? Being this dark makes the little bird harder to see and may not be realistic given the light coming from the right. On the other hand, if it is supposed to be in the shadows of her hair and hand, perhaps it is fine the way it is. Also, a tiny bit more light could make the birds near her hair stand out a bit more.
I like the fact that the glow around her is not overdone. You've created an atmosphere that is mysterious and alluring, and it leaves the reader eager to know more about her story.
As far as painting the hair, I am NOT a great hair painter, but I think it looks good. I think the key is to use a lot of layers and gradually add highlights where appropriate, but that's just my opinion.
What I really like about your digital painting is that it is seamless, blending flawlessly into the stock.
Overall a truly, truly gorgeous piece. It's so nice to see this side of you.
Hope you have a wonderful New Year.
