 My wife and I purchased our home in 2001, roughly one month before we exchanged vows. Since about one week after moving in, we've been in the midst of a exhaustive remodel. Last night, my wife purchased this faucet for our shower, which is among the last things to be renovated. It's been a long time coming, but we're finishing things off. This image is just the faucet handle laying on a pillow. Cropped slightly for composition and curve adjusted.

I would have liked more DOF. The photo is too soft.

Black and white was a good choice. I think this shot might have been better if the focus was sharper.
