Description Hope this isn't too dark for anyone to view. But I wanted it too look like it was night and had a hard time trying to find a good balance. I also was hoping for a sort of folkish/fairytale feel with this one. I hope you enjoy it.

I want to give a special thank you to ~SituationHeavy for being kind enough to allow me to use her awesome photography for this image.

I dont think it's too dark at all. I think its beautiful and adore the warm tones you used.

The only thing i can see to suggest.. is a bit more glow on the ground. But still is stunning as it is

This looks wonderful Great use of textures.
I think that on the darker areas, the saturation should be lower. Light sort of works that way.
You got the fairytale feel just perfectly

magical work! Something that would have helped to give the "Night" effect would be to use a bluish tone..
Great job nonetheless!

I experiment with so many different features in photoshop, it's honestly hard to keep up with the exact steps I take. And I'm really bad at explaining but I'll try. I used curves, shadow/highlight and unsharp mask to give it more contrast and then adjusted the colors with color balance. then I added a green glow with the paint brush, added fairies, and used dodge and burn to give them a little more definition and glow.

I think the color balance would be even better if you made the light behind the trees black. It would really make the figure stand out. Otherwise, great pic!
