caveat: i'm a beginner. that said...the noise doens't seem to add to the image but distract, very little range of light to dark, overall kind of 'blah' for me.
my goal is to comment on every photo in this challenge..heres urs..good luck. excellent comp but i think i would have rather seen this in color. i think this is all pewter or silver with a black BG would have been a great photo with some of the noise removed. ur lighting was great and the focus is perfect IMHO
