What Process Was Used To Get This Effect?

[LeatherneckO6]

Can anyone please identify what effect was done here and how this effect was applied to this photo (not my photo)?


Thanks!!

Can't say for sure what ALL was used, but just at a glance, I would say at least plastic wrap was used on the catcher, and it looks like maybe a noise filter -> dust and scratches with a high setting on the BG. Could have even been some kind of lined brush used on it as well.

Thanks sstjohn. It has an HDR effect on the catcher which Is really very cool.

You bet! Play around with plastic wrap if you are wanting to recreate this effect. it can be very cool when used in the right composition!
