Photography and portraits
Sir Edward:
I think you guys are starting to get away from what I was trying to discuss in this thread. I'm talking about crafting a photo in terms of the pose and location.

Sir Patrick:
Any idea how he does those colors? I love that ethereal look.
Sir Edward:
It depends on the picture. Which one in particular? The ones I don't know how to do are the ones that almost look like paintings.
Adding glowy stuff, color shifts, etc, aren't that hard. There's a variety of tricks out there. It can be as simple as adding a layer with "screen" blend mode and black fill color, drawing an ellipse in it, and then blurring the heck out of that layer with Gaussian blur, then adjust the opacity.
The image below is probably a good example. I'm not sure what they did to make it look like a painting or ink drawing, but the glow on the right could be a simple overlay like that (and possible just a gradient in that layer rather than a blurred shape):
And in this one, I think it's actual lens flare from a window:
