Partially enlightened... (post processing experiment)

Okay, it's quite rare that I get into post processing... I usually like to finish an image rather quickly and use the time I've got beforehand (for developing an idea or working on lighting, composition etc.). But in some rare instances, I'm looking through some older shots and immediately have an idea what I would like to do with an image. That was the case here... no idea why:

Of course this could be done way better with a bit of planning... but it was quite fun regardless.

Very interesting how you post processed this. I like the result.

I'm not sure that it follows the laws of optics, but it looks good anyway!

An excellent image. A world you own. Well done

Thanks a lot - glad you do!

Great to hear - thank you very much!

Many thanks! Yeah, I guess quite a few of my images might give some indication about my (non-existant) technical knowledge... 😅 But since I was able to learn this or that about photographic history in recent years, I'm hopeful, that I'll be able to learn a couple of things concerning the laws of optics as well. 👍

Thank you! Yeah, you‘re right… it‘s one of the drawbacks with ideas that come after the fact, I guess. 😅
