Exposure compensation - -2.0 Used foamcore board as a background, with light from an outdoor light shining through a glass window.
Used tripod and slow shutter and used precalculated photo setting of Night Scene. No flash, macro zoom off. Post processing - Photo Impact Pro, increased light on subject. Changed color hue to blue zone, with desaturation. Then removed flecks of dust which appeared on image.

I can see what you were trying for in this picture, but it just doesn't seem to be a picture that makes me want to keep looking at it. Maybe some more sharpness to the shadows, and a little clearer would help.
