Since several people thought the picture needed to be punched up a bit, here's my attempt at doing so.  Hope you like!

Rendering was done in Luxrender via Reality (as was the previous one - forgot to say), posing in Daz Studio 3.  This time around, I rendered the character and the area she's in separately from the magic effects - both were done in Reality, but doing the effects without anything else but lights in the scene made it possible for them to appear more evenly lit, without any shadows from anything - and also for them not to cast shadows on anything else, since Reality is a physically-based rendered.

The two were merged in Photoshop, and a background added in as well instead of the default "sky" that Reality creates.  I also used Photoshop to add blurring to the magic effects, adjust coloring, and touch up a few bits that I didn't like the "realistic" version of (i.e., adding a glint to her and her dragon's eyes, lightening up the gem on the pommel of her sword, and making the inlay in her sword more blue.

Lastly, I played with it a little in Preview on my Mac, because I like its tools for adjusting exposure, color temperature, and other things.

Hope you guys like it!

i like the improvements. the darker background works here. the only thing i would have like to have seen was the introduction of a little more direct lighting to enhance the magicks more and to inject a tad more mood.

I thought the first was quite good and am in agreement that this is even better. Really good stuff!

Aww...c'mon folks, how could you not notice a cute little blue dragon? Probably 'cuz more people are focusing on her...(Bet you'd notice if it was nestled in the bosom...)

Anyway, I like the changes. The effect stands out better against that darker sky, and focus is pulled slightly more to her. Nice job!

Re-adjusted! Just adjusted and uploaded to the same pic here this time, instead of creating a third one.

I'd actually darkened the sky some to make the dragon show up better, but I guess I didn't do enough, so now I've brightened him up a bit as well! He looks almost like he's glowing like the magic effects... which he could actually be, with him being her familiar!

You may have to hit refresh to see the change, if the image is still in your cache. I did!

Love the kick up, but now the nitpick... the dragon almost gets lost in the night sky background
