 been a DPC member for years, finally getting in my first entry :) Taken in my home office (actually the door of my office) used a small light from above for spotlighting, and an LED red light below. Adjusted curves and cropped in Lighroom, added border in Photoshop. Fingers crossed! Hope you all like it

Good idea but not quite executed perfectly would have been nicer with more light shinning through the door knob.

awwww, you've got a crystal doorknob! I wanted to shoot one of these for the challenge but didn't know where to find one. I like what you did with the lighting - good job!

Decent shot but I think the title is off because the knob seems to be the main subject....at least for me.
