 Light painting taken for the Image Grain challenge. I used a different entry for that challenge, but after working more with it, I think I like this photo even more. Processed in Photoshop for levels and adding grain. Then healing brush and clone stamp to clean up minor flaws. Dodge and burn to bring out a subtle background. Back into Lightroom to add some fill light.

The grain really enhances this. Nice lighting. A classic still life.
