Ok, I was going for kind of a fairy look on this one. Is it too dark? Comments appreciated, and as always... please be brutally honest.

Before....

After....

How did you achieve that fairy look? its quite interesting, colors are deep.
Thx

One technique I've tested a couple of times is to duplicate the original layer, give it some blur and then set it's blending mode to overlay. Simple as that, and softens the image a lot.

edit: made quick sample of results

Hue/Saturation
Gradient Overlay (sky)
Brightness/Contrast

Secret weapon.... gothic glow

Followed by another gradient overlay for soft vignetting

I really like the soft, glow look and I think the editing suits the composition. It does appear a little dark to me.
