>>3413943yeah, of course it's not going to cast a very bright light like you did here
>>3413922In your first pic, you were getting a dramatic color shift to cyan, and then clipping to peak white, so you had two entirely different shades of blue, followed by white. It's kind of a cool effect, but you also have some jpg artifacts around the white, or maybe it's aliasing or something, looks pretty gritty. There's no right or wrong, they're all artistic choices made by you.
