With the 30sec exposure challenge, I had to wait until late evening to try for the effect. Did something like this once before with my print camra using the double exposure feature. Can't do double exposures with the 10D. This worked fairly well. Tried three times. My wife posed for half the exposure time then walked out of the scene. Unfortunately, a car passed by with it's lights on lightening up the street a little.

Great illusion. I'd love to know how this was done. I suspect that the lens was covered for a few seconds, allowing the person to enter the scene for the last few seconds.
Creative, the colors and exposure are good, but it is a tad oof. My only suggestion would have been a composition on thirds therfore cropping out the right third of the pic where the bright street is. It pulls my eye away from the subject and does not add to the picture.
