Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi,

Here's one of the images I took when out on the photoshoot last week. This version won't be going to the client because its got a lot of photoshop foolery in it. Thought it was interesting playing around with luminance and glows.

Comments welcome!

the luminous glow effect contrasts the industrial hard edged theme
it's cool in that way
composition of the portrait works well

I've deleted the other thread which unfortunately meant that Craig's response to it has gone too.

I would have submitted this photo as the glow lends credence to the work place :)

Agree with the others. This one should have been submitted as well. The effect is a photo with extra interest.
