This shot is not my original idea, I saw it in a recent B&W magazine, though my execution is quite different.
Taken in Studio
The table is a piece of glass over a black cloth, and the background was a bluescreen that I used levels to turn to black.
Lots of post processing, including 3 levels layers and 2 saturation layers, to fine-tune the lighting and contrast.
I cropped and flipped the shot horizontally.
Then I sharpened and added some noise to give the hands more grittiness.

Love that it's off-centre, love the mirrored surface, love the monochrome, love the lighting... I'm swiftly running out of things to rave about! It's simple and stunning! 10!!!
