Experimenting with manipulations
Love it? Hate it? Let me know why! I'm not well versed with photo-manipulations and fantasy image edits just yet. As my own worst critic I'm not 100% satisfied at this point I am looking for criticism; good or bad. So let me have it. Should I reduce the contrast? Should I restart completely? Is the price right? I appreciate all feedback, thanks!
I transitioned the light to be very bright from the source and slowly fall back as it spreads. That effect may not be visible on all devices; but it exists. I don't see the same tones while viewing on my cell vs pc. I went with the closed-eye photo vs open-eyes to give the illusion that she's dreaming it up ~ bringing to life the story in her hands. Whether or not I was successful is up to the audience.
The original image is my own photograph. I used my own lighting with an image of this sort in mind. The post-process light effects are a combination of free brushes and other objects that I felt added to the image. About 20 layers just for the light bursts~
The final version will have the star near her feet removed. It's a remnant from a previous edit. My bad!
