my new contribution... this is a more recent photo i took on friday night. my favorite photo for that night. was a bit adventurous so sneak into CTE to took this.
Before
After
Process:
- On Canon DPP (did this purely on canon DPP)
1. I corrected the white balance.
2. Played with curves. Experimented a little different curve settings that I always use and I like the end result!
Reason why I did some PP to the original cos I felt that it looks dull... so with some experiment on the curves, I hope to make it looks more interesting and exciting.

could have shot it with a high key setting but the original decision was to create a more mid low key look. but then the client changed his mind ...

omg thanks for showing this! respect!!! now i feel like trying also but looks super difficult :sweat:
Personal fun project. The b4 is just a normal guy in that pose, nothing much to see..lol
Started out just as a curious experiment to see how combining a guy and lava will look. But then I start adding more & more till I decided to just complete it..
Really fun deciding what goes where and which parts should be more hardened, spilling, or just more like contained underneath the surface.. On his left chest theres this muscle structure cause its important to not make him look all 'hard', else will look more boring..
There is an obvious lack of smoke, glow or maybe other associated elements but that is as preferred; I like it 'cleaner' so can see more detail..
All elements are taken from photos and manipulated, I can't draw..lol
I'm a freelance retoucher..

Well though not much but let me share mine as well.

Nice pp work! I don't see the edges "glowing". Sharp subject. Which type of blur did you use if you don't mind me asking?
Hi here's a contribution too
#1
Before
I cloned the shaded area over the lady who walked past. Then blur the image somemore to cover up traces of cloning. Level it, did some changes to brightness/contrast. Some adjustments to colour balance and lastly cropped it accordingly.
After
#2
Before
Created different copies of diff exposures and went through HDR processing.

Hi there, this is done with CS5 filter>Lens Blur. The success of the pp is not the blurring method used but from refine edge after doing a quick selection with magic wand. Damn good feature.
