Well, it's not "technically" haloing, but that is the effect. It's just a thick vignette slowly erased. Then I pushed the white level on the bottom layer to make the legs/feet stand out from the background.
This was more of an abstract photo. So I thought I would process it a little differently too. Thanks for the feedback
Not what I thought I'd see from the image title. As usual, Woody is full of surprises!
I like the concept of this shot. I would agree you could have left it as a straight B&W (the haloing is a mite distracting), but overall, it's subtle enough.
