:iconpanos-skentzos:
A Dryad is a tree nymph, that is a female spirit of a tree, in Greek mythology. In Greek drys signifies "oak". Thus dryads are specifically the nymphs of oak trees, though the term has come to be used for all tree nymphs in general. They were normally considered to be very shy creatures, except around the goddess Artemis, who was known to be a friend to most nymphs.

The funny thing is, before I even read your comment I this immediately reminded me of some sort of fairy or nymph gliding through a forest! So great job, got your message across!

What I love about this the most is that the subject isn't front in center, she is hidden within. This makes her somewhat mysterious and almost surreal. It gives the whole piece a very gentle and soothing feel which works wonderfully.

The muted colours also offer the sense that this is of another world or time. I find often when people try to photograph nature and convince us it's not earth, it can be very obvious and not real. Yet here with only very very subtle change you've made this appear other worldly.

I think It's a beautiful picture. It certainly tells a story. Great job!
