Samodiva

High Resolution

This entry is a result of multiple change of ideas... it was originally meant to be a night fantasy shot, with absolutely no fairies involved, but.. some random playing with settings led to this one.

I would like to thank to Iardacil-stock at DeviantART for granting me permission to use the photo of the girl.

I would also like to thank to: Karolienn @ sxc.hu for the grass stock, Bella @ sxc.hu for the vines stock; herrberg @ sxc.hu for the sky stock; Stephanie for the wings brushes and to whoever created the hair brushes I used (see the source link below).

About the title:

Samodiva is a forest female spirit in Bulgarian (probably in Slavic in general, I'm not really sure) mythology. It's not originally winged, but I just thought wings would suit this particular one.
