HDR still life of garlic and a bowl on a polished dining room table. Used Photomatix to combine images and Photoshop to apply a gradient map, crop, and used the spot healing brush, clone tool, and dodge and burn to clean up incidental dust spots and bright spots.

Caught my eye from the first time through the entries. I love the glow on this and the tones are lovely. Maybe a bit soft for me and I could use a tad more detail in the highlights, but still a top pick. 9 Voted earlier; back to comment.
Garlic gets some bad rap. It really is good for you... increases blood flow and such things. This duotone brings out the best - they appear to be talking up the real benefits. Tones are perfect.
