i've never spent so long editting one photo - hope it does alright!.. and for those of you who checked the meaning of the title, I know it doesn't fit! It took me forever to find something "fairytale-like", so I went with the best of what I had found
the shot is taken at the Chinese lantern exibit taking place in the Montreal botanical gardens
this is an infrared photo converted into B&W and then coloured using graduated filters and selections

It is generally thought polite and proper to check each comment that you think is helpful... even if they're helpfully criticizing... just sayin'... so you'll know. It thanks the commenter for taking the time to consider your image and talk to you about it.
This image works MUCH better in Fairy Tale than in High Key. An incredible location, and I love the dreaminess of the processing, but having the upper and the bottom portions of the image in different tones of gray doesn't work for me. I like the greenish hue of the bottom half better than the violet tone above. Marvelous detail.
