Greetings fellow CC member!
So first things first: Your shot meets the challenge well, with a number of different black objects. You̢۪ve also got a variety of shades of black, which I think really is really good. Regarding the variety of hues, however, I think that things might be improved a bit by lowering the exposure just a tad to make the shadows and crenulations on the coat more prominent. I̢۪m also left wanting to see the bottom of the hand and the cuff. This is rather minor though, and what probably is the most distracting to me is the blurring on the backside of the hand, as noted by others. I like the shot though, and also that it isn̢۪t a complete studio stock shot, which are fine, but I enjoy some variety as well.

That scrollwheel IS rather odd looking. How deep is the body? It looks surprisingly small to me.

There is something really peculiar about this photo... it appears to be moving. Odd sensation, but I really like it.

Still really like your fish fence, creeping along and beaching itself. har har.
Really a great shot though, all terrible humor aside.

Nice choice with the sepia. Really brings home nostalgia. This sorta reminds me of a place in Queenstown, NZ...

You mean 10 mimosa ;)
Nice shot- what really makes this is the choice of the background with the subject. The two mix very pleasingly.

I see you ended up going with number 4. I agree with your choice. Great photo, I loved all of the ones you put up; excellent BW.

This was actually almost exactly one of my alternate ideas... except I was going to use the Raven Pro, not ultra. Nicely Executed.
