I saw a link to these in another group, and I like the feel of them.

Looks like some kind of diffusion or mist filter applied to the background, combined with a tint to some non-foreground objects.

Can anyone suggest what a reasonable recipe for output like this might be?

I had a similar problem. As a sculptor I found my work was average. In a trip to Italy I saw a piece called the "Pieta" by a sculptor known as Michealangelo. Then I sought the kind of chisels and hammers that he used. Later I decided that, since my work didn’t get any better I decided to move to Italy in the same vicinity of Michealangelo and continued my work. Certainly the world knows my work as a sculptor "Arthur"?

They are good photos, and if you have a creatived mind and the basic understanding of Photoshop then it’s very possible. And if you don’t think you can do similar with your Photoshop skill, then I would you to spend more time (1-3 years may be?) practicing your Photoshop.

No, I am not using Photoshop for art (rarely do), but just by looking at the images and my understanding of Photoshop I can give you some basic hints of some very basic commands that most if not all Photoshop users should know.

– The color of the whole canvas, you can use any combination of Level, Curve, Color Balance, Color Selective, Channel Mixer etc.. those are very basic command

– For some specific color (hi-lite, shadow etc. like sun-light or light beam) you can use Dodge/Burn tool

– For light-beam effect, you can use layer (with some basic tools) and combination with Dodge/Burn tool. And other took like Quick Mask etc..

Yup! I enjoy those photos but they are not my type of retouching I do for $$$$, and sometime I don’t dare to get too much into that type of art which may effect the type I do (detailed portrait retouching with true skin tone/texture not art or digital look).
