Sweet Sacrifice

amazing!!!

What's done with this in the post process, to transform www.flickr.com/photos/andaria/263931787/in/photostream/ to this:

I removed all the yellow colour in the photo, duplicated the photo and set the top layer to "screen" and adjusted the opacy on the top layer.
Added a white vignetting at the end. voilá

Oh wow, that's beautifully done. I love the soft, fairly high-key light - really makes the eyes and lips stand out. Outstanding!
