Here's an image I'm working on, this is a high-iso (1250) HDR 'baseline' image that I'm going to use to compare against my first attempt at light painting.
For the light painted image (haven't even started layering yet) I took ~30 shots with a hand-held flash lighting different parts of the scene - that image is going to take a lot of work before it's ready so I wanted to see what people thought about this one before I put too much work into the other.
Anyway, feel free to play with the image in photoshop and post alternate edits in this thread
What did this one look like straight out of the camera?

If you want alternate edits, you need to post the original. What you posted has already been heavily edit. To that one can only offer additional edits. That's why I was curious to see what came out of the camera. Can you post that version?

Hey, sorry about the delay - had a long day out.
Anyway, the image posted was a 3-shot HDR merge, but here's the straight-out-of-camera EV0 metered shot:
So far I'm really liking Bob's 'Monday Morning Sepia' edit with the desaturated, almost foggy look and djflan's black & white conversion, though the vignette is a little heavy for my tastes. Good call on the crop though.
Composition-wise I wasn't sure if there was a bit too much sky. I was thinking of cropping it a little tighter and losing some of the left and top.
