Description Finally, after months without inspiration, I did a digital Photo-manipulation again. I got inspired by some lovely pics. All in all this piece took me around 7 to 8 hours.

Images used from
Girl: [link]
Moon: [link]
Door: [link]
Castle: [link] (I will add the correct link as Soon as I find it.

Brushes:
Ornamental Borders: [link]

I had a hard time making this, especially finding the right images to compose with and to get the lighting right. I am not really satisfied with the girl, but I am tired. *laughs* Critique is welcome... and please note:

Ah und wieder mal nicht gesehen das du auch aus Deutschland bist...na gut, dann kann ich mir mein fehlerhaftes Englisch ja sparen.
Aber nun zum Bild, sehr schön, die Atmosphäre - das Licht. Wirklich sehr gut gelungen in zusammenspiel.

Danke für das nette Feedback (um mal ein englisches Wort einzustreuen) auf meine Manip. Mach dir nichts draus. Ich merk auch oft erst hinterher, dass Leute die ich anspreche/-schreibe aus Deutschland sind und ich mir mein Denglisch hätte sparen können. Obwohl, es mach mir eigentlich nichts aus auf Englisch zu schreiben. *hehe*

This is incredible! The composition is very well handled, because it's nicely balanced in all areas, including the unique frame .
Great technique on balancing the contrast between light and shadow. The subdued (and slightly gloomy) colours make this piece bewitching.

Magnificent use of stocks, too. I just love the castle. The girl's pose and her beautiful dress add to the atmosphere. I'm definitely making this a favorite.

This is reaaaaaally gorgeous! I like the medival feeling of it. The funny thing is that I have plans to do something with rays of light also. But I fully agree with you that it is very difficult. So I'm still in the fase to get those rays looking good. You on the other hand already succeeded! I can only say; Bravo, bravo and keep up the good work. As always very appreciated.

Actually the light rays are really easy to make, I can tell you how I did it. *laughs*

Mmh, I'd like to repeat in English but I don't know the word. In Dutch we would say "Dat is een gewetensvraag". I think that the English speakers would translate that as playing with ones concious? Whaaaaa, the Dutchie is rambling again. Ofcourse I would like to know. It doesn't have to be a step by step instruction because I'm not the greedy type. I only like to compare it with my way of working to check if I'm in the right direction. I can't pay you back, but I promis to worship the ground you walk on. Okay? *laughs very evil*
