A shot i took during the Thorn production. I shot it at a very high iso due to the low light conditions. I did a little level and curve edit and thats about it. I also did a gaussian blur to soften up the noise.

An effective demonstration of lighting and how it can be used creatively to achieve a special effect. This image, with it's attendant grain, creates an ethereal atmosphere - a very noir concept which is intense and powerfull, it sparks the imagination and tells any number of different stories. One of the best entries in this challenge so far which should place well in the top ten if not a ribbon winner. Well done.
Stunning use of dramatic lighting for this challenge topic. Really terrific image. Just wish you had taken out the noise factor... although I am a huge fan of grain and artistic grain/noise, the clarity of lines and the minimalist composition seems to be begging for crispness and un-fuzzed canvas..good luck with this!
