Honestly, I'm proud that I achieved how I envisioned this image though I'm having second thoughts about the smoothness
I first made a new layer over it with overlay mode and 50% thing checked.
I then used a white brush to highlight parts of him that were in shadows.
I desaturated the image and then burnt the sword.
I increased the levels so the image became pretty bright. I then burnt his hair and other darker parts that should be dark.
I then cloned out the rest of the background in a moment of foolishness when I could have selected him out of the image. It was painstaking.
I played with the curves to improve the relationship between the higlighted and darkened parts.
I then used the action gothic glow over this to create a glow over the image.
The action messed up the balance and light and dark a little so I burned out bits I thought didn't need to be dark and vice versa.
I used topaz adjust to take away the noise and topaz detail to bring the slightest bit of detail.
I sharpened image at 1600 and then resized to 800
