Utopia in Chains II - two versions




I decided to try out something new for once: Actually postworking an image in Photoshop! I wanted to have my cake and eat it, so I rendered this picture with regular HDRI lighting, in order to get the best colours and reflections. Then, after slightly touching up the image with some blurring at critical spots, I overlaid it with a soft lighting filter and a transparency gradient, and it turned out like this.

I'm not sure what I think of it yet! Some input, please? Which version do you think is more appealing to the eye?

It looks better, even though bondage is not my cup of tea.
