Thanks Chris.
A bit of 'dark' humor isn't gonna kill anyone...:biglaff:
A started with a black canvas 'original is 5000 X 3500 px)
On top of that I applied a 'fog' brush in big size and somewhat greyish.
Then I opened the grass layer and squeezed it vertically to 3/4 of the canvas and applied a gradient black to transparant to make the grass and the misty background fluent.
I reduced the saturation much.
That's for the basic work.
Then I started playing with the Pixelsquid objects, adding a black color adjustment layer over them and brush away the light parts ect...
Added the shadows, dodging and/or burning and made a composite snapshot, level adjustment and camera raw filters and voila...
