Sorry, I've taken so long getting back to editing this image.
I wasn't able to copy and paste everyone comments from the other post to this one. I've temporarilly left the first image in the clubs gallery. So, you can have a re-look, if you want.

  Wow Carla - very mystical! Great work!

I have a student in independent art who took photo with me last year - she would LOVE this... might suggest something like this to her as a project idea!

  Thank you 'all' so much, for your help tweeking the elements and details.
I didn't mind trying out each of your suggestions. Some, I used and others confirmed I liked what I had. In the end, the image is much stronger and better for all your input...again, thank you.
~Thks, Jeff!
~Michael, I read your comment..thks so much.
~Debbra, I'm complimented you feel my art will encourange someone to push their imagination and technique limits or what they feel are limitations!!!

~Debbie, Thank you for patience and suggestions as I worked through this project.

~Aimee, Thks! Dale's idea to move her to the upper mtn peak was amazing. I liked the concept but, preferred my original placement by the water. I liked the warm tones the texture provided. But, Rita was right; it created unwanted noise. I appreciated your suggestion to blur out the texture. Adding that pop to Mother Nature helped call attention to her and define her significance in the image.

I should have asked for title suggestions. I've put so much into creating this, that my mind is total blank on the title. Any ideas?

  I think since this is a made up place that you should make up a name for it and let that be the title. Carlathica? :~)

  Thk u, Arthur, Teresa, Wendy and David.

@Wendy,
All together I count 11 images comprised together to make this one fantasy imagery. The main image is Yosemite Valley on a snowy day, at a location where you can see the valley, Merced River, El Cap & Bridalvail Falls. To that image I added each of the three deer’s, two honkers, Mother Nature, clouds and moon. The caves are actually the same image duplicated, flipped and are from the Tunnel entrance to Yosemite Valley. The domed 'castles’ are the San Francisco Exploratorium as are the columns and arbor. The colors in the sky where created with the use of several color balance adjustment layers. I added a snow layer to the castles and arbor. There is also a layer for each reflection and a few texture layers. The textures were blurred and only the color tones are visable. Whew!
