something rather than nothing! used 50mm crop mode to shoot then cropped more from there.. (Obviously) used trickeries in post to force the dynamic range look of Teddy to emulate how she looks to the eye a bit...
Nice effect, although Teddy looks a tad overwhelmed by her neighbours. At the same time I like the band of light at the top, vs the scattered highlights through the dark base. NIK Color Efex Pro 4 has a filter "Darken/Lighten centre"; was this part of your trickery?
