A well composed image with nice colors, but it doesn't strike to me as
particularly Asian. Your background story illustrates the point, but I still
fail to see this as "spirit of Asia".

Very nice interpretation of the theme.

Nice concept and I like the lighting.  The bird and branches needed a bit of
work in terms of textures.  The ears and hands also need tweeking.

Really like the way the leaves fade into the distance and the coloration and
lighting.

Like the lighting and the background. I'm one of those 
who haven't heard of 'Andersen's tale' or Dulac's work 
that inspired it. So all I can say of the main character is 
he don't look human.

I like this image.  A genre piece kept simple and effective.  I especially 
like the mix of facial expression and bodily gesture, also the decorative 
effect of the leaves.
