This is a tribute to this great image [thumb]55938[/thumb] by [user]Gordon[/user].

Execution was pretty much the same as the original image. Used an aluminium foil snoot wrapped around a flash light. I set the white balance to tungsten and moved it to the +3 to get a cooler effect. And while processing I increased the blue color to achieve similar effect.

I could have added some creative twist instead of just recreating the original idea. But did not have enough time since the time I made a decision to go with this idea.

Ahh, Fantasia by Gordon huh?

Well... I think that was a neat choice, although a stretch of famous.. As for your execution, this is not as good as the original, although it is a nice try..

I think a slightly harder light source (more focused) would have helped, as it is, this looks too soft and too magenta.. 6
