Well framed, and the textures lift it above the usual sign shot

Comment by Pascal:
Thanks for your comments. My choice was not to let more light in, so the viewer's eye to "ask for more inside the darkness".
I tried more than 50 times to get this final shot. I used the b/w mode of my Nikon and there was not much processing except from a "brave" croping.
As many people didn't like darkness here, the photo finally was not competitive. But this is my first entry to DPC so I hope to be improved in future challenges.

the reflection is a bothersome element also it looks as if the sign is just sprayemounted to a pice of cardboard.

I think the photo is a little dark. I also think it woulf have been better if the labels were facing the camera

It is most likely my monitor but this seems extremly dark. I do try to make sure all the bars are showing at the bottom of the page. They are showing right now but all I can see is half of the bottle label, the foam, and gui on the mug. Sorry. This would have been a wonderful picture.

Too low-key for my taste. Now there's only gray.

This seems very dark, but that could be my monitor.
