Three fairies made from circles of tuile and held together with wire and some wedding favour thingies for wings. Smeared vaseline over a clear perspex picture frame to diffuse the backlight, attached the fairies and took the photo in the garden with a few pine cones propped up in front. The fairies were suspended by the wires in front of the frame with the sun coming in from behind. No other lighting was used.
Post processing included cropping, some cloning out of wires, adding a gaussian blur layer and removing parts with a layer mask. Some selective dodging and burning and selective colour changes to add atmosphere. I am really pleased with how this turned out and hope it may actually do well in a challenge with which I was initially having a lot of trouble!

This is just so creative! The light on the little tulle fairys is just so pretty! This image really does have a very magical feel to it...I feel like I've come upon this secret little gathering by chance and am lucky to have happened to have witnessed it...this is absolutely one of my favorites!
