Thank you! That stripe actually was built into the filter I used, so I just sandwiched everything else between two layers of it and then wiggled it around until they lined up in the flip to make it darker. It ended up washing the pic out more than I had intended (I'm still really horrible at cleaning up that kind of thing) but the overall effect was in the ballpark of what I was after. JDM has quite a few good shots out there, but almost every pic I could find of the other guy he either had super short hair or was playing the badass, which wasn't suitable *wryly* so I went with the middle road, mid-length and angsty *grins*
