sigma 105mm f:2.8 ex dg macro @ f:2.8 - ISO 200 - 1/60.
i used a black reflector to create the dark side, and took the photo at a 45 deg angle. it's my paper cutter.
adjusted levels, converted to BW with channel mixer, quick masked all but the lower left, and adjusted white and black points, rotated 180. canvas size for border, resize, save as for web.
it has a three dimensional feel to it. hope you enjoy...

I didn't vote in this challenge but this photo caught my eye when I was browsing through the entries during the voting period. I think it's really cool. Great job.
