Interesting image.. nice atmosphere. Good luck

Thanks Matteo, I just learned about gradient maps in your tutorial. Thanks so much for those techniques !

nice mood

I really like this image!

I have looked at it on 3 different monitors though and I find it a little dark (for viewing purposes) it is hard to make out the face on the woman (on at 2 of the monitors at least). I thought you may get a better reacton/rating if you can lighten the image (just a tiny bit); not too much as the mood is wonderful.

Maybe a levels adjustment layer set on a screen blend mode and then take it the opacity down to an opacity to just enough for some highlights. You can also mask out parts of the screen layer to apply the lightening to specific areas.

All that said, it has a lovely flow to it and, as I said, a very interesting mood!

Thanks a lot Arc, i'll work on that

Author u could change the colors of the stones to achieve better contrast with the woman...this color is great for the dress and i would not change that but the color of the stones for sure...And u could create some glowing effect on the stones,to cast some lighting on the woman for better effect...This is great creation and would be the same to don't get good score because its to dark and without contrast...good luck

Thanks ! Work Updated.

Great work ... I do like it now ... I can see the image. Hope it works for you
