Nice lightning though I would like too see the shadow in the front gone, and the overexposured spot on the right top of the razor is bugging me a little But the image is well positioned in the frame , good job - 7

+ Excellent product shot. Perhaps you should have s(h)aved this one for the Mundane challenge ;).

Comment by Geocide:
Thanks everybody for the comments. I'm really suprised that this image came in so low.

There were some questions about process:
In Photoshop, I Unsharp Masked --> Color balanced ---> (decided to go B&W) Desaturated---> Edited Curves (more of a S curve) ---> Contrast Adj ---> Croped ---> Bordered--->Submit.

It took some playing with to get this image to to really pop.

Subject matter:
I thought this fit the challenge because we see a guy standing out front of, from what i could tell, his workplace having a smoke break. If i've ever seen anyone "let go" on a regular basis, it's smokers on their break. That's the moment when they have time to think and reflect on their concerns. IMHO.

eh... I like the image.

This is one instance where I wish the subject wasn't looking at the camera.

Freaky! I want to see this wth the lights just a little lighter, to make it pop a bit more, in the very hilights.

If I put my head at an angle to the screen I can just barely make this one out. What was left behind was any sort of a light source.
Sorry, just pulling your leg. A wonderful entry for the Challenge. One of my favorites. 10
