Night time edit

[Angreynolds]

Hi Damien,

  I have a photo that I would like to turn into night time.  I don't have a specific style I want to match exactly but more the idea of making it look night time.  Or maybe you can give me CC on what I have done so far?  I have taken most of your classes and use to follow you on FB closely.  I haven't used this forum too often so I hope this is okay to ask instead of doing a copy cat photo.

 

Attached is what I have so far and my original edit.  I want to keep the noise that is present. For more of that night time affect. Don't worry, the noise level is tolerable, not terrible.

second attempt.  I like this one better.

If the lamp really was the light source, two things would happen.

1. His legs would be very dark, because they'd be in the shadow of the book
2. His shirt and face would be very golden, from the lamplight, you know?

Okay, here I was cooling his face.   Okay, I will give it another go...

I think we posted at the same time. I posted a second attempt before I read your response.  I will put a third attempt up later with your thoughts in mind. Thanks

I added the same light from the lantern onto his face and took off the masking from his legs a bit.

When you were browsing, did you see this one?  Not the same scene by any means, but might give you ideas.

The starburst things have got to go.  Cheesy is for pizza, not photos.

Yes I did see the link you provided with the girl in the alley.  I tried the edits on my photo, didn't really do what I wanted.  

LOL- I wasn't sure about the star burst things, I went out on a limb there. lol
