i like it, it seems some how magical
good
I love the mood of the image...Dodge and burn tools usually ruin the pixels of an image...Try creating a new layer and using a soft paintbrush with opacity set to 10% so you can control how much or how little you want. Use white or black depending on shadow or highlight..Good Luck
Thank you, Christy! I just might try that...excellent technique tip - although, I may never give up dodge and burn completely because I like the pixel distortion sometimes..it can give an irridescent flake look. Again, Great tip!
Author I agree sometimes the flakey look is exactly what you want
Sometimes I use other colors when I'm painting to give it that look too...Glad my tip helped 
Howdie stranger!
