This piece is beautiful. It has a great mixture of stylization and realism at the the same time. (Especially with the textures.) I can tell you had fun with the brushes. It definitely adds to the stylized look of the painting.
As far as critique goes there are a couple of different things I would suggest. After looking at this picture and seeing the face, I immediately tried to gravitate towards the eyes, but hers are blank. Maybe try playing around with giving her real eyes. Maybe this woman is trapped in a wooden body, or she is a wood sprite? Just having those deep eyes could imply there is something more to this character. The other thing I would suggest is maybe try adding some other color like flowers or berries, by the hair.
Those are really the only things I can suggest because I am having a hard time finding anything to fix. Over all great job, and keep up the good work.

First and foremost... FANTASTIC WORK! There is not much to say about this piece. As a digital painting it looks great. As a piece of fantasy art, it looks great.

As for the ratings:

Vision: Perfect, I think you accomplished what you wanted. A living tree.

Originality: Not bad. The piece looks wonderful, but I have seen this image in one way or another several times. But who cares! We all love to recreate things we see. It's what artist do.

Technique: It's solid. Your structure and build of the piece is spot on perfect. Digital paintings get away with many flaws because it looks cool. My art teachers might rip you a new one but at the same time praise you for letting certain details go to concentrate on others.

Impact: Eye catching! From first glance I wanted to look more at the piece and find out about the artist. This makes other artists want to try it or just draw something. Inspiring.

Overall, 5 star performance.

Cheers!

I don't feel qualified to give a full critique, but going off of what Kalilak11 said, I agree that the blankness of eyes when I want to be drawn to them is rather incongruous. On the other hand, giving her eyes proper could also be incongruous, or incompatible with the effect you wanted. In that event, I suggest, maybe for next time, giving her a more expressive mouth. That could give the viewers' eyes direction and, depending on expression, draw in the viewer more and create a more interesting picture--making the viewer want to know why the tree-lady is smiling or whatnot. Which of course you don't answer. Because mysteries are exciting and memorable.

It's lovely in any event, but I wanted to leave a more in-depth comment if you are looking for critique.
