 Still learning Photoshop. Have not been able edit in raw so I am still editing the jpg from the camera.

White satin was used as the background. Due to the natural light the satin does not look too white. I also didn't clean my camera off very good so you can actually see some dust. I left the dust to show that the camera is almost 30 years old. I liked the photograph so I didn't want to do too much.

I might have overdone the usm. This is my first camera (1977). I took a lot of great Black and White photos and had a blast learning from my first boyfriend.

Nice firey colors in the lense, but I'm not sure I like the backdrop

Needed to be in focus entirely - but nice fast lens!

I like that the subject is off center, but the phohto is missing the "wow" factor.

Beautifully done. Nice composition (off center) and great idea to have the touch of color in the lens.

First slr or first challenge? Image is fairly well detailed, but it doesn't say black and white to me.
