 I didnt have any idea what to do, you would think after a week something would have popped. The other day we were doing some light painting and I thought this shot turned out pretty cool. I know its not of great skill level, but I figured better to put something in then nothing at all.

Cropped, Curves, Brightness and Hue adjustments.

This is awesome! Seen it a few times but great idea with the guitar.
Like a few others said if next time you did it you could have a wider crop and maybe in processing really darken yourself out so that it was just the light that would be great. I do like it that the person is slightly illuminated though.

there's some light spill onto your clothes and face, I think I'd wear all dark clothes next time, and see if that would help blend you more. I'd like to see more light painting on the guitar, maybe light "buttons" on the male?

Thank you for the input, I actually chose to have some of the color light her up, I felt it showed a little more 'cool' emotion.
