This is my favourite of the challenge, I really love the lighting. Good choice of placing the composition near a window..

The excellent HDR capture on my Samsung did probably 70% of the work here, but the bulk of the development and some initial styling was handled inside ON1 Photo RAW (my main workhorse tool these days), followed by fine color grading and detail within Affinity using Nik Color Efex and a manually blended bleached paper texture. I'm really glad the toning hit the sweet spot for several people here. :-)

Bizzare voting in this challenge. My winner got a ten, but my second got an 8 and that was you :)

What filter did you use and programme?
