This piece caught my eye at first because you used rich detail and vibrant colors in a way that didn't confuse or overwhelm my eyes.
You mentioned that the colors seemed off, and I don't know if this is what you were noticing, but it occurred to me that the colors of the character don't quite mesh with the background colors. This might have to do with the difference between the shading of the figure and the shading of the background. The background has many colors in its shadows (for example, the trees have blue shadows, and the rocks have green) but the figure doesn't have the same color variety, making it seem out of place. Matching the shading techniques of the background and the figure could help unify the light source and color scheme of the image.
Also, I noticed that the extra space at the top third of the image takes focus away from the character, which should be the central part of this piece. A quick fix would be to cut off the top section from about half way down that big horizontal tree branch.
Overall, this piece is very beautiful to look at and you've shown good craftsmanship in finishing and polishing it.

First off, I would like to commend you on your detailing. It really is brilliant, and well done. I see everything was done with precision and care, which I admire. You have a good eye for color as well; everything stands together well, and the subject is able to pop out correctly over the background. The shading is also superb, as you gave this piece of art a degree of depth. I don't really see the beuty in the face of the pixie though; which is a shame considering how much I admire your talent here. Whe I think of a pixie, I imagine a certain degree of beuty, but her face seems cross or even depressed, and the coloring between her eyes seems to tell me that she's sick. That was a disapointment. Other than this one negative point, I think that this is an extremely well done piece of art that you've come up with. Excellent job.
