Nicely done, there are a few effects that can be applied to accentuate your theme; but any changes would probably distract from a very good subject and composition. The only thing I might change would be some of the reflections on the center lightpiece.

Thanks a lot for your valuable input. Would you mind to try that change in this image ? It will help me to do revise my image.

I like the image Tejal, there are some wonderful shapes and contrast but I'm wondering given the title perhaps a vignette and I think the centre is a little too bright. Perhaps if the highlights there were reduced and the outline of the figure softened it might give the image a more dreamy feel.
Would you mind if I tried an edit of your image to show you what I mean.
Regards, Greg

Tejal,

Here is an example of the reflection reduction, used clone and spot healing tool, and a dreamy version, used NIK software graduated fog filter.

both versions are very nice, truly dreamy. But my processing skill will allow me to revise like this or not :P. I am not that good at processing... !!

What editing software do you use Tejal

I use photoshop, but i m not so good at using photoshop. Some times, for quick & little editing work, I use photoscape too. Here I have done masking as well as some cloning work too. Again... I am not so good at processing and very bad at editing work :P.

I left just enough of the highlight to give the lightpiece form, the NIK software is pretty easy to use as it is mostly sliders and a few control points. The fog effect could also probably be done in Photoshop.

Yes you are right NIK is the best option, as quite easy and can see many options at a time. For Fog effect, may I know how to add it ? Your 1st version I personnaly liked quite a lot than foggy effect. Many be I am wrong

Tejal,

For the Fog Effect, I used the NIK ColorEfex plug in and chose Graduated Fog Effect. I then used one of the sliders to reverse the location, the original placement is at the top of the image; I then just reduced the intensity until it showed fog only slightly.

Many thanks John. . Will have to try.
