Nice pic.

beautiful!

Awesome!

Great idea. Love the lighting!

A nice start to the contest! Nice theme match and good choice for grayscale. GL!

Actually....it's not grey scale....shot and edited in color...only the choice of the BG and subject make it appear B&W....if you look in the hi-rez you can find a hint of orange rust near the tang and the handle studs are sill brass in color.

And again! Congrats!

this is indeed your moment... i like the concept and everything you did in this photo... congrats...

ahahahahaa!!! He sure is the Man!

Only after the Niagra kicks in first.

HAHA! Thanks guys!

This is truely amazing!!!! Can you explain to me how you got this shot?

Probably just a frame and there is no mirror? That's how I would do it ^^ ..... awesome shot btw.

It is definately a reflection. Think "angles".

Indeed, the rotten apple is off to the right (out of shot). Really well done author - love the thought... and the execution's not too shabby either .

great idea. GL

Hey, leave the smoke and mirrors to the magic guys will ya!

At this rate you will be doing Locksmagic out of a job

Brilliant!

fantastic, GL

Excellent..

Took some advice I have been given, hopefully this is a better shot than others. No flash, an angle that isn't just straight on, increased the contrast, etc.
Bring on any constructive criticism! I need it!

trust what you see, then shoot it!
then trust your corrections....
it's all a process,... that not one of us has not gone through!
relax,..and enjoy the journey!
nice angle dude!

Thx Craigers!

I agree with him!!! You'll open your eyes up to a lot of new sights just from what people can tell you on here. There are a couple that are more into insults rather than critique but I just over-look them.

Better! GL!

Thank you!! Working hard over here, thanks to you and MnM!!
