 I really wanted to focus on the microphone but still also be able to see the other elements in the background, i.e. the keyboard, headphones and tablet. I wanted to convey that these things are tools for creating music. I used natural lighting to achieve the blue highlights and incandescent yellow lighting for the warmth. As a result, the two colors created a cooling magenta on the paper and part of the keyboard. In Photoshop I simply applied an unsharpened mask and slight contrast corrections.

You missed the focus on this one. The focus point seems not to be on the top of the mic as it should be, but instead at about half way around the side of it.

This is a very photograph. Lighting is good and the depth of field works nicely. Composition is fine and the technical quality is better than most images in this challenge.

Some voters will think this image is being shoehorned into the challenge just to have something to submit and may vote it lower because of that.

It is a very good image that will likely get a score lower than it deserves.

Dark Recording? What? Not sure I see how this is related to Darkness, except the fact that you put the word Dark in the title.

This is a great photo. Nice focus and I like the dof. But I'm sorry, even with the title, this image does not convey 'darkness' in any way to me. It shows that that is a really nice professional grade mic.
