This is a first attempt, and still needs a lot of work. Tips and comments are more then welcome to make this picture work.

    Looks very good, but making this look 100% real is not going to be easy. For this one you'll probably need to get advice from professional retouchers / animators.

    I like it as is but Brett is probably right about a pro retoucher.

    This series has the most amazing concepts.

    I suggest a tighter crop. The current crop is not very intimate and the left and bottom of the image are neither terribly interesting nor dramatically important to the thought and message of the piece.

    Alternately, a 2:3 aspect ratio, cropping off the left, looks pretty good too.

    For me, the flame tops are missing and that ruins the illusion, somewhat.

    The subject's facial expression and body language do not suggest agony, but she is at least looking to the sky. Perhaps you intended to show a manifest resignation of the subject to her plight?

    TXS, will work it. Yep the last one is what was intended....

    Will spend some time with PS to get it right.

    The dusting of OCD that I have tells me that she should not be so cavalier, considering she is burning in hell. That aside, very cool shot all around.

    Great looking pic!

    To improve further:
    Add highlights to places where flames are obviously casting light. Like under hear right breast (from her pov). Also get rid of the black halo around the flames where they're overlaying her skin.
