Good idea, it should be pretty easy to at least bend them a bit...

Well, I have followed the evolution of this work since the first version.
Never gave a comment. Now, I'll change that:
Perfect!
You're an artist. Your "Marvellous Julia" bring peace of mind. It's a
wonderfull place to be. Calm and relax. To me it's perfect.
Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Ciao!
Mart

I think you do not need any suggestions. That title is perfect. I love
this image.

I enjoyed following the evolution of this beautiful picture!
What about giving the clouds a less "brute" white and making
them a tiny little more transparent?

1. I would have put a school of small fish rather than a few big fish; it's
uncommon to see big fish near the surface.
2. When I was up in Vermont this weekend, I spent a lot of time staring at
grassy
hills and thinking about Grassy Julia... grass grows straight up, regardless
of
the angle of the slope; however, I wouldn't change it... the subtle weird
grass is
part of the 'fantastic' element of the scene. (Here's hoping analyzing that
doesn't spoil it for anyone! ;))
3. I liked the distant background 'mainland' ...
4. I would call it 'Julia's Isle' or 'Julia's Escape' ...
and, finally, 5. Great image! Love it in all its incarnations! (some more
than
others, but, I think, this one the most!)

Superb !
I like the fishes, they are discrete and it leaves some details to be
discovered.

Hi!
Great Image! This will replace Gilles Trans "Family" Image as my
background (it has a nice summer feeling and "Family" makes me a little
claustrophobic now)

The image looks great, especialy the flock of birds in the distance, it
seems to have some motion in it, like it should have.
two points of critiscism:
- The flowers need some work, since they will be annoyingly simple when
rendered at Zazzle resolution.
- i didn't recognise the fish due to the refraction of the water, maybe you
should use smaller fish.
The title is very good, it suits the image.
