A gift for :iconnameda: and :iconopalseadragon:.

I wanted to do something with light, shadows, reflections, etc, etc... I'm a kind of masochist :XD:

Well missy.
This is just wonderful. I don't think you can compose this piece better than what you did in this one. You nailed it on this part. Every element just blends perfectly with the other. Yet, you can isolate the elements in your mind and still create a wonderful mood and effect.
The fairy leaning over the old book then the transparency of this "gigantic" ball with the rays/shadows propagating to the foreground brings a dreamy feeling to the viewer.
The only thing I do not see blending (enough) in this photo iare the candles. indeed they are excellent element for this piece as you can see it is exposing the scene leaving the edges darker but I just feel it is maybe 5% off. You really hve to look carefully to detect it.
I can just stare at this and enjoy the mood, the rythm and the shadows.
Excellent work on the shadows of the candles by the way.
Lovely.
