My and my ESP! Convert to b&w, curves, levels and USM then save for the web.

This was the hardest challenge for me yet.
I'm not super happy although I like it. I wish I could have either re-shot (No time) or caught the harsh reflection on the guitar. That's why I am here to learn lessons like that!

Thanks!

Post Challenge Edit: This shot is a self portrait using natural light.

Scored well, it is a good low key shot but perhaps not different enought to set the world alight

For great tones (detail) in the shadows, composition and technical quality I thought this was one of the best images in this challenge. Great job. I scored it 9.

Not much going on really but the vast black space does create mystery

This is a really nice low-key shot but needs to be cropped much tighter on the subject to eliminate all the dead space.

Nice use of low key. I am a bit bothered that half of the hand was cropped.
