This is absolutely beautiful! Since Michelle does the photo and the costume, I'll be focusing on both. First, the costume~ I just love all the costumes you make. XD This one looks just like a costume a ballerina would wear. (I used to be one, so I know. ;D) It looks as though it is easy to move around in, which is just what a dancer (of any kind) would need. The lace underneath the 'chest' line is very appealing, as well as the bow. I like that the two stand out from each other (one is pink and the other is blue, respectively.)

The photograph itself is just amazing. It stands out with colour and pose and the lines~ The baby blue/light pink lights on the model go very well together, and I think that the blue helps strengthen the model's stance. The rainbow and sparkles around it was a very creative touch that wraps around the model naturally, like she was wearing a shawl as she danced. The background in the photo is just as stunning; the soft clouds are appealing, and they don't take away from the focus of the photo: The model and her costume.

The only thing I would like to add is about the model. She has a very strong stance and her arms and torso look beautiful. However, I feel that her hands look a little too strong. She could bring her fingers in closer, and her right arm (over her head) could be turned inwards. I don't think that it takes away from the picture, but it does seem to take away from the 'character' of the ballerina.

Vision: 5 -- It's extremely imaginative, but it still keeps realistic elements.
Originality: 5 -- Well, I've never seen anything like this. I can't speak for anyone else, but I think it's pretty original!
Technique: 5 -- You blended the original photo to the digital elements spectacularly.
Impact: 5 -- It's absolutely beautiful, stunning, and it really makes an impression on you. It's very memorable.
