I think that the contrast in this piece is very good. The brightness of the center really draws in your attention, but the sides aren't so dark that you can't tell what is on the sides. The magic effects themselves look very nicely done. I would say that some of the glowing dragonflies look a tad pasted on, but that could just be the effect that is on them... I really like the glow and soft light effect of the whole thing, it is really nice. I don't think the text quite fits, though, and the font should probably be changed. Overall, this is very nice work. Great job, keep it up!
the only thing im not liking to much is how dark the trees are, it might just be my screen but they look pitch black and kinda pasted if they were lightened a bit i would like it better. i like the position of the text but from the original picture you posted it is on a tree stump (i think) so to me it kinda being metallic doesn't fit right
