 This is how my brother and his fiance pass the time.
Taken in the entryway to a woman's bathroom at a local theater, the lighting and texture of the wallpaper I thought was pretty nice.
For post-processing, I rotated, cropped, cloned the woman's forehead so it didn't blow out so much, used curves to lighten the photo slightly, color balanced to take out a touch of yellow, and brought the saturation down.
Resize, save for web, this is it.
If it does well it will be a fluke, as my brother was only brave enough to dash into the corner for one quick picture and i had no chance to try and frame and compose the shot neatly. What I like about the shot is its sensuality, all the dark space with curves of light and harsh shadows.

I feel that this needs a little sharpening to really make it stand out.

hmmm. I know you were going for moody....but it came out a little too dark for me...I would like to have seen the faces more. Aside from a bit of slopping lighting...

Nice composure and idea.
