"In the woods" shot is from today with the 50-135mm.
Butterfly wings shot is from yesterday with the 18-55mm.
Wings were sharpened, then the layer mode set to hard light to get the weird effect. A lot of other editing on everything, too, but no time to list it. Background was blurred using the blur tool, obviously not too well (a lot of areas of different blurriness). It's 4:27 AM and I'm on a semi-roadtrip, so no time to fix it or anything else.
Also, I just realized the wings look kind of amateur-ish, maybe 'cause there's not enough contrast there. Oh well.
And yes, the "modern day" part is an excuse for casual clothing. We weren't out doing a shoot, we were visiting a medieval city ;)

OK, I get the title and that goes with what she is wearing - but if a better effort had been made on the outfit (something `fairyish`) then this would of been so much better. Pose, lighting etc is great, but the outfit just lets this down. 6
I like the idea a lot, and the balanced composition is well done. I think I would have liked the theme more overall if she were dressed up in a bit more fantasy garb.
