The Original stock image is by David Hoffman. The first thing I did was change the hue and saturation on the dancer. I then created a dark background. I added the glow using a clouds layer and changed the blend mode to screen. I masked it on around her. I then used a broken glass brush to paint small broken bits on and close to the model and getting bigger as it goes out to give a 3d effect. I used a soft eraser to remove some of the dancer to give the look her body is breaking away. I then painted some speckles to the left. to add to it I played with the curves and brightness just to get the right look.
