, at a few people's suggestions: I decided to add a blue sky, some clouds and some leaves over the skirt. I also made the butterflies smaller, to give it a better sense of reality
I also added back the watermark, as I do not want my work stolen in any way, so I apologize for it.
There have been a few people asking me to make a wallpaper version of this, but making a wallpaper means altering the whole concept of this manipulation, and I do not wish to change it in any way. I am sorry to say this, but please understand that I don't want my work to be used in any form. If you like it, then feel free to visit my shop.
I can't believe I got a DD! I would like to thank all of the people who had time to view and fav this piece. I know it is far from perfect, and I am happy that many of you guys liked it. Thank you again for those many, many, many favs and awesome comments!
3rd EDIT: I hope I finally made her skirt blend in ok with the leaves. What do you say?
RE-EDIT: Moved the model back up, where she originally was (but I am still unhappy about the way her skirt looks on the leaves) and I also sharpened her a bit.
EDIT: I added a few more blur to the trees. Hope it looks even more realistic now
for all of his help.
But I learned tones of useful tips from him, and I will definitely use them in my next manipulations
Also, thank you to all of you who viewed and faved the scrap. I hope you'll like the final version better

Overall

Impact
While both the vision and conceptualizing of colors are unmistakably beautiful, there are a few parts of the piece that could do with a little more tweaking.
For one, the blending / blurring is a little severe. I find the blurring to be a bit too much in the background, making the figure stick out a little awkwardly. Perhaps some smoothing out of the bottom of the gown, as well as some more work with the sharpness level of the background stock, would help. However, it is a brilliant way to use the chosen stock for the background, and vision-wise, it's very beautiful. e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />
A couple of the butterflies also look a tad "sticker-ish", like they're not blended entirely into the picture itself--particularly the maroon one on the left, and the mauve one over the girl's head.
Otherwise, fantastic work. I REALLY love this piece! e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />

I love the song in general, and I think this art helps put even more into it. Good job^^ I'd be mad too if something amazing like that were to be stolen.

If you want to change it into a wallpaper without changing the image, you could add some reddish brown borders on the left and right to make it fit the screen.
