    Photos look great.. The light flares look just like I would imagine them to in a realistic photo..

    I would opt for a stormy background or something in there.

    It's a decent effect, but she's totally in the wrong uniform for it -- how about a skin-tight bright red and black hauteur top? I agree that something also has be done w/ the background to make it more heroic... should be fun to do.

    I have to also think that her expression is very suiting if she were a vampire (in which case get that girl some fangs stat!), but my experience with heroine types is that they generally give a look that says something like "I'm going to kick your ***, and you're going to love every second of it."

    She is poorly lit. The light from the energy from her hands should be reflecting off her face, body and building.

    Keep working with it.
