It's a really nice shot, if a wee bit enthusiastically Nik'd. But I have also found the very same extreme 'Nikking' hard to resist in my own stuff. I'm just now learning to back it off a notch or two, for greater durability at the cost of a quieter initial impact.

Giles you take some really thoughtful and original pictures. I know you have said you're unconvinced about some of the weirdness that a few folks celebrate here at DPC, but I reckon that you are yourself one of those weird folks. You just haven't fully realised it yet. Alas, when you do catch it properly, I'm afraid there is no cure.

Please post more stuff to this thread. Cheers.

I do really like this shot, good composition and DOF, nice tones; I can't help but think though that simply writing the 'sorry' would have made better sense. The suggestion is obviously that her lover has ditched her and left their keys - portraying that said lover would be in touch again soon doesn't seem to fit the idea. Overall though, I really like this.
