The area of glow definitely looks enhanced, a Ryan Dyar style glow you often see in his images. I personally love the look, it makes the image pop. I might suggest the overall image be a tad brighter, but I'd have to see a physical print first.
You're right though, these dark images are really tricky when being viewed online, especially when they're "so small" as opposed to a print.
Great shot overall.
Thanks Justin. I love his style and have talked with him about how he gets his glow. However for this shot, instead of painting it in by hand, I used an exposure that was fogged from condensation on the lens for the LAST image in the focus stack. A little trick I figured out on my part It works a lot better for me this way to do it in camera.
And yeah, even the slightest difference in gamma or screen brightness will totally change this image. I'm assuming I'll have to make a few test prints to get it looking right, even though Im calibrated to the printer lab in town. Looking forward to it though because I know all the work I put into it will pay off when viewed in person, even if the online reaction isnt very great.
