Hi guys,
I'm trying to make a nice CD cover for my girlfriend for when she comes back from Canada.
I'm using this picture of her:
as the stock.
I have no idea what to do.
I was trying for this:
(The white portion is where I'm putting the track names)
Like a, "Coming Out The Dark" theme, but I don't really know how to execute it properly.
Any help, guys?
Thanks. :)

That, will take A LOT of concentration into detail. A combination of brushing, burning/dodging, lots of adjustment layers + brushing out bad parts with grayscale, etc. you have to make sure the lighting is correct. Make sure that light appears where it is supposed to hit and the shadows are on the proper place. Lighting, Lighting, Lighting.

I'd remove the effect you made under her noise other than that it actually looks pretty good

I think it would look better if you just retouched the photo and used a lot more exposure.
