Description Edited this one after I edited the last one I uploaded here and I think I like this one better.
Not sure if I'll keep both of them up here..

...

It's photos like these that make me wish I had an 85mm f/1.2 (or at least the f/1.8...) hahah.... Large apertures ftw!

The colors in this are so beautiful.
Would it be alright if I used this picture to reference a painting?

I saw this image in miniature form. The tiny icon made it look much different than it is.
Since I clicked on it and found it was much different, it very much inspired me to draw what I thought I had seen...
I will post it to you and give you credit, if you don't mind.

It was mostly Curve Adjustments for the colors (lowering the blue channel, raising the red and green channels) and then a lot of dodging and burning to get the right balance of tones. Also created a duplicate layer and blurred it a little and set it's blend mode to "lighten" and selectively masked it in to give the background a little glow.
