Simple shot, nothing complex about about:
Changed the:
Cropped,
Color Balance,
Contrast,
Added a Warmer,
Played with Saturation,
and tweaked Shadow/Highlights.
Yes, I those are my paintings in the background. I think I just wanted to show those more than my photo!
Nothing complex, was just looking to take a simple shot. It did turn out a bit grainy after the final tweaking, but overall, I feel I took an average shot and am not looking for gold on this one. Really just curing my desire to take and submit a photo in the hour I have between work!
I feel like I should only submit my best work, but honestly- I enjoy some snap shots to keep me tweaking and editing my basic skills. I'm sure I'll learn alot from this photo, like the others before with some critiques from DPC.
Good Luck to everyone!

Hmmm, I thought I commented on this already - it was in my top tier in voting. I liked the novel, thoughful approach, and the fact the sides are NOT exact, but symmetrical on another level. Very nice!
This is symmetry understated and as a result is a superb photo. The compositional elements are terrific and the use of lighting is terrific. The focus seems a bit soft, not saying mis-focused just soft. Also the right photo seems slightly askew or maybe just an optical illusion (yes I am nitpicking). I think this is a wonderful shot.
I like this idea, though I do not like the lighting. Maybe some reflector (like A2 white paper :) ) or a light source on the left would've made that better, more symmetric. -6-
