spotlight effect

[jen0dorf]

Hi

the attached image shows an image I took at a wedding of the "first dance"

The couple are dancing under the spotlight and I want to put a highlight on her arm around his neck as if the lights were abit brighter. Tried in ACR and in photoshop but can't get it to look Ok. I have resized the image as it was taken on a 12mp camera

Can someone give me a hint

thanks

Ian
