Judges' comments:
Good impact; the yellow color and rays of light are nice; it might be better to darken the stone and exclude it from the effect
Maker's notes:
I wanted to keep an ethereal ambiance around the angel. Also an effect of receding and appearing, movement. I added different light effects with a softened palette. I also tried using the lightroom masking feature that Mr. Hansel spoke of in his presentation over the angel's face.
