This is the final, planned enhancement of this image. I have always had in mind using the "Soft Black" feature of OnOne's Photo Tools 2.5 to create a palpable, gauzy depth to the dark areas of the image; this has been an integral part of my previsualization from the beginning. So that's what we have here. In the final stage, I'll add some serious sharpening on top of that, and we'll have what I'm looking for; an image that's both soft and sharp at the same time.
I have also used the OnOne "Golden Hour Enhancer" to boost the warm tones a little.
