This is a *very* last minute entry. I actually missed the final version of this by mere seconds. I'll upload it after the challenge.

The original idea came from searching for pictures during the painting with light challenge. Here is the inspiration.

I think the image is a little dark, but I like how it isolates the subject. I did this with a 30 second exposure using a surefire (covered with a white lid) to draw the man. Did about 20 takes.

Very little overall processing, mainly because I ran out of time. Brought in from RAW, some dodging and burning. Minor clone and healing work. I had some selective brightness layers that didn't make it in this version.

All in all, it was easier than I thought it'd be.

a joke is a joke is a joke, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein. The question is, why would I want this picture in front of me more than now, when I get a laugh during voting?

Now let's take guesses on how many times you had to try this one to get it even like this. My guess 40+ photos of this pose only... Close? Haha! Well done..
