Yes, that glow is phenomenal! I had the pleasure of viewing one of your prints at the recent APUG gathering in Minnesota. Andrew Moxom brought one up, and your print quality is second to none. I am so flabbergasted and impressed that it's difficult to put in words. Seriously beautiful.
This grabs me by the soul and drags me into the frame. Wow.

What a great photograph -- as billschwab said, lit from within. I'd dearly love to have you take a photography as an example and write up a summary walking us through how you achieved such imagery. It's one thing to read what developer you used, but we all know there's more to it than that! Wonderful.
