This is of course a Posthumous Blue Ribbon. It is the most original vision I've seen through your eyes.

Comment by Teafran:
Very minimalist and effective - different and unigue - a solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail, it might have been a better choice to close the other window curtain to create a sense of mystery and intrigue. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.

Very cool with the grain. Love it.

Comment by Teafran:
The grain is effective but a more effective treatment would have been to crop the bottom as the image is too tall. The artistic impression is good, but it might have been a good idea to change from black and white to sepia or a more neutral tone. A good entry into the challenge and originally rated a 6, it has been rerated a 7 on review.

Comment by kaiser_chief:
It is probably the effect you were after, the old school type, but I am not a fan of the processing, and the noise that it creates, the lack of contrast and definition in the subject as it gets lost amoung the background.

Love the black and white, and great contrast. The composition in a little too distracting, IMO 8
