Nice concept, but the background is too dark and does not fit the image. The lighting of the background does not correspond to the lighting of the figure, with the discrepancy too emphasized by the dark shadows of the BG. A better lit room would be more consistent and not show this as much.

Too dark. Half of your image is so dark, it's very hard to see what is going on, or what you are trying to communicate. Particularly the RH side. The building looks like a facade, with no real back to it, the stars seem to jam right up against the lit front, with the remaining blackness on the right just "dead space."
The figures are almost impossible to make out as a couple, the light swirl is too dominant.
Beautiful concept, just too "moody," with not enough consistent illumination for the viewer to clearly appreciate your efforts.
instead of give the author such negative comment, you could give some advice to improve the image mossyb, maybe its just someone how just get started with ps and then u need some build up comments and not that kind ur give
The idea is good, however the image is very dark. Its almost like the saturation and contrast are making this image darker.
With the couple in the foreground, if you took a bit of the sparkles around them off, then they would be a little bit more clearer as well, the you may not need to lighten the image too much more
Lovely image and great concept ... I agree it is a little dark but only a little ... I have seen a night sky where the stars stand out against a "void" when there is something that you cannot quite make out in front of them. I think a little lightening and some minor toning down of the sparkles would enhance the image .
To lighten you can apply a Levels adjustment layer and brighten it up so the image is "too" light ... then mask out what you don't want to lighten and set opacity to get it just right ...that is if you want to
i think its fine dark... its night time with no lights really... its supposed to be dark. i wouldnt lighten it up any more... if you must go that route in one way or another, instead bring out more details at the focal points to make them more pronounced, and bring in a little more detail in the darker parts to keep it balanced.
Too dark, and the lighting is off. The figure should be showing a backlight glow around the edges of her, and the viewer would not be able to see just patches of skin, she'd be all in shadow (to match the rocks on either side)...
Nice concept, but the execution is unrealistic and inconsistent with that background...Sunset or sunrise (or an angled moon on one side) would better illuminate the subject.
Not enough contrast, chick should stand out. That's why instead of the same type of dirt/rock, you should have used white marble or something different from the background.
Or make the moon behind the girl and that would make it perfect since you have white vs black = great contrast, great impact.
Full moon also equals shadows.
But this is a good start & you'll get better man, I'm sure.
