I chose to reproduce my own image because it's a matter to measure my improvement, by using new techniques and equipment which I acquired since then. I like this subject so much and I believe this time this it is far better done, including the photograph itself and the post processing.
I used 4 flashes with different gels to change their colors. One flash on the right side of the sculpture with a CTO gel. One flash on the left side of it, with a Full Blue gel. Two flashes for the background, one with two gels and another one with a full CTB gel.
For those who wonder what is this, this is an acrylic sculture. Behind it, there is a desktop motherboard.
Editing:
Levels
Topaz
Combined another identical image with different exposure for better dinamic range
Burning in lots of spots
Cloned out lots of imperfections
Cloned out a distracting edge on the left bottom
High Radius USM for contrast
Resize
USM for sharpening
Saved for web.

Well, this is not going so well as I expected. My first entry went reasonably well and this is one is much better technically, but it is going to achieve almost the same score as the previous one.
