Wow. I like that. Looks like SC or GA. I like the lighting. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful photo! Love the "mysterious" look with the lighting.
What were the settings you used?

Agreed with above, it's a really interesting shot. Can you explain the pp you did here for that effect?

Thanks everyone !! Here are the settings to get that dream like Orton-effect.
I use Nikon Capture NX2 software but there settings will also work using PS.

1-move the midtone slider iin (levels) so the photo goes very light
2-using the (guassian blur) tool move the radius slider so the photo goes
very blurry
3-go into (blending mode) ans select multiply (the photo should go darker)
4-readjust the sliders in the (levels) to set the final exposure
5-add a tad of USM (sharpening) to get over the Orton-effect

Take care,

Thank you !

It's very nice. But to me it doesn't look like a photograph. It looks more like a painting . It is very nice though. Thanks for sharing.
