Indeed, totally agree with sittingblue. You've captured the essence of Millais painting and gone a little further. Very impressive.

Thank you all very for your kind and encouraging comments. :o)

Here's my take on it: you need to work with the light. I know the Millais painting, and Ophelia is floating on the surface. Here, she seems to be resting on the bottom. The flowers threw me off at first. I was trying to read them as fish. Still...you need never go back to the Beginners Gallery again.

This is stunning....this can't be your first image. It's very, very good. I really like the tone and mood of it. I think she's floating. Very cool!!!!! (and I don't really like Millais)

As I'm not familiar with the works of Everett Millais - I cannot compare this render with the man's art. However, I see little point in antithesis between the two styles even if I were cognizant of the gentleman's art. The important fact of both observation and accolade remains in YOUR interpretation of the original work. Where it a direct copy, then one would still have cause to credit you with the exceptional skill at re-creating it. On the other hand, if this version differs, that matters not as well, and consideration should be awarded you for your excellent Vue d'Esprit skills. In my humble opinion, this is an excellent image, and the near transparent placement of the figure lends a truly mystical touch to the whole composition. I see no poorly conceived use of lighting, and find the tones used exactly the proper consistency. The foliage is truly well done - so this render is a magnificent accomplishment - well done Djeser!

I'm biased in this case ;o) but I DO know the Millais picture. And I frankly think this one is better. The diffuse, eerie/sad light sets the mood perfectly, poor Ophelia does not look like a Victorian lady in a bath tub (which Millais' model was!), but a real woman in a pond, and the "camera angle" is also far better, as it (IMHO) really pulls one in as one who's walking in the woods and suddenly comes face to face with Ophelia's tragic end. This is art every bit as much as the Pre-Raphelite version - brushes or mice have nothing to do with it. Thanx for sharing.
