Thanks Marie :p

It actually turned out much better than expected, there was almost no PS'ing applied except that i increased the brightness slightly, so the artificial look was all natural, if that makes sense hehe.

Very nice concept!
I love how the light source gives it imaginary feeling.

Nothing to it really, nothing more than a tripod, the camera and a remote switch, just a matter of getting the right exposure to bring out the natural colours created by the street lighting. :)

Yeah, i suck at photoshop so therefore i try to use it as little as possible. It's more satisfying getting the shot oldschool style, IMHO.

Thanks Skade, no disrespect to those that are master os PS, there are some great results to be had.

I guess if we knew how to use it more ffectively we'd probably change our tune. keke :p

The title fits and I look every time even though I know what it is. It is indeed enchanted. Thanks for your effort.

Albert, thanks for looking and the positive feedback.

Most of the work was done by the street lighting :) Getting the right vantage point was important as to best utilise the light source to create that "enchanted" feeling.

That was actually the only shot i took of that scene.

Didn't have to do too much in PS except bump ip the brightness and tweak the contrast.
