Description
My first new piece after a hiatus of nearly a year. I've finally found my muse and love of manipulating again - hence, a new beginning.

So basically I began this last night around 2 AM, I think, and continued until 4 AM, and resumed this again around 9 AM until now (2:30 PM). That makes this... 7 hours, is it? Not sure. Wow.

Yeah, so instead of studying for my finals, I made this. Ahaha.

I actually quite like this one. Reminds me of my waterfall picture...

All comments and critiques are highly appreciated. Thank you.

Other Versions (I highly recommend looking at these): [link]
Original, with no effects: [link]
No background blur/text: [link]
With background blur/no text: [link]
(Larger sizes available upon request; apparently the site automatically resizes.)
I'd love it if you could let me know which one you like the best.

12.18.11 - LOL, I have been crazily sending this to groups, so I apologize if you've seen this piece 3 bajillion times by now. XD
12.20.11 - This hit 52 faves. OMG. Thanks, everyone.

03.14.12 - Finally got around to editing this!
Love this new version.

Fixed: Removal of people in the corner, hair details, shadowing/highlighting, background blurring, addition of credits

Here you can see other versions: [link]
In order in that album:
1 - Original version uploaded here
2 - New (plain) version
3 - Version uploaded here currently
4 - Another version - "sparkly"
Please take a look through them. I absolutely love 3 (here) and 4.
