    The comp editing isn't horrible, but it isn't great either - it is a mix, but that is what will happen if it's your first time trying something like this out. The best advise is to play around with the options of the program ( what program is it, btw? It doesn't have to be Photoshop to become awesome. ;3 ), if there are layer options then that's a good start. Should you find the time, you could search the internet for tutorials based upon the program.

    About this one - the white on the hair is too much. The impression is that there's a sharp light from her behind, but the white on the hair gets a "choped up" feeling.. It would work if her hair actually was bending in a direction, but it's not so I'd make it one whole line of LIGHT OPACITY instead of two hard whites. The hair accesory became too sharp compared to the rest of the picture - you should make it softer like the colours and lineart is.

    The only photo editing equipment I have is called Photo impact 10 and it's better than Ms paint.

    I took your advice Cocohints and made a new one here:

    I think ths one is better and I did change a part of her outfits colour scheme as well.

    This version is much better and suitable for the image. :3

    If you want, you can play around some more by adding another extremly weak colour to that it's not just white in the background. There are many posibillities to create a light magic effect - for this I can imagine warm colours like yellow/orange/red.

    It turned out more... molten lava-ish than sunset-ish on the first recoloured version... ^^; The second version is closer to what I meant. :> Keep in mind that the feathers can have a tinytinytiny amount of the background colour on them as well, because of the reflection.
