How was this done?

Hi Floydian,

How did you manage to get this 'light' in the picture? Did you use the dodge and burn technique for this? Or did you use some other tools? :)

Greetings,

Thomas,

I never use Dodge & Burn, that's really a terrible tool, does more harm than any good to an image.
All i do is pulling the sliders on new adjustment layers with masking technique and work on parts of an image i need. The rest is painting with brushes...that's all.

Regards,

Henk
