This was a really simple manip I threw together this morning, but I kinda like it... :)
In my mind were two ideas, the ending of Neverending Story (where he must rebuild Fantasia with his wishes) and the mid-season end of Battlestar Galactica, where they discover Earth...
The hope of finding a new home.

Wow what an enchanting picture! I love the glow you added to the child's eyes!

LOL Thanks! I originally used "lens flare" because I wanted a warm light in his eyes, but my boyfriend said he looked demonic. :oops:
So.... I removed it, and painted a couple white dots instead. :lol:

Yeah I like dodge tool a lot too, but a fuzzy white brush dab seems to look the most natural =)

The flare lit up his entire eye (even at minimum size), and I just wanted a reflection...
Personally I think the most annoying thing was that jewel, because I wanted to make it more complicated - having the tree picture fractured through the facets.. I worked on it for a long time, and it wasn't coming out, so I gave up. But with the final lighting effects, you can barely see the details anyway.. so I guess it's a good thing I didn't waste more time. :P

Lol I hate it when that happens :XD: You work so zoomed in for SO long and then you can't even see it in the freaking real size :faint:

I'm still such a noob with Photoshop elements, it's scary how much I'd suck with the actual Photoshop program!
Every time I added a glow to the jewel, it glowed too much and the tree looked like a dark blob in the center.. sometimes it's frustrating knowing what I want, and not being able to execute it. :upset:
