bed scene ;-)

@Kat light source: top left corner (moon light from the window, that is outside the pic). I am not great at shadows, but i will work on it. Its still very rough so i will try to soften transitions once i figure out proper values. Thanks for comments

What a lovely idea. I agree about the shadows. Maybe there should be more contrast between the light source and the shadows. Love how sweet the lady looks and she is fast-asleep.

Here's a crazy idea-I wonder if you could set up the scene in your home, with a stuffed animal tucked under the covers in bed and a strong light shining on the scene in the direction you want for your image. You could study how the light and shadows fall on the objects and maybe get an idea of how to light your image more realistically.
Just a thought.

thanks guys. I might try stuffed animals. I could also use my kids ha ha

hi, thats is the result. I am not sure about it, but its more difficult than i expected so i just have to move on, otherwise I will stay on this pic for days and loose my mind!

Definite improvement in the lighting!

@DOTTYP Hi, it's looking much better - but what I would do first, is look at reference. Here is a link to moonlight coming through a window. It will give you ideas of colour palettes and composition etc. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=light+through+a+window+onto+hair&rlz=1C1CHNY_enGB616GB616&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjsv4WayPvTAhVgFMAKHSueC80Q_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=950#tbm=isch&q=moonlight+through+a+window - I hope this helps. Looking great.

@Peter-Jarvis Thank you
I was trying to google some reference, but my finds were not as good as yours. I will keep them for next image. -
@aska It's my pleasure. I hope they help. Lighting and mood are so important but can the most difficult to achieve. It's the continual learning curve. Good luck.
