Shot in RAW with a -2 exposure compensation value.
There appears to be what looks like some noise in the photo. This is not noise but actually the texture from my background material. Unfortunately, with Basic Editing rules in effect for this challenge, it was difficult to completely remove all those imperfections. :-(

Definitely meets the challenge well - pretty good score and a great average from the commenters tells you that. Good handling of the light and exposure to keep the highlights under control, too.
