If you have seen my flickr stream, you may have already seen a photo similar to this. I took one about a week before the challenge that I liked so much, I had to replicate for the challenge. I did actually try various other lamps, but kept coming back to this one.
Post Processing:
* Crop
* Recovery
* Increase Black Point
* Increase Brightness
* Topaz DeNoise for the silky smooth feel
* Topaz Adjust to even out the exposure a bit
* Increase Definition
* Increase Saturation with higher Vibrancy
* S-curve
* Export to TIFF
* Resize to 800px
* Save as JPEG

Woah! My first ribbon. I couldn't believe my eyes when I woke up and this photo was just first being voted on, I have a 7.03. During voting it dropped to as low as a 6.64 and back up into the 7's at one point. Thank you all for the great votes and comments!
