Thanks all for your votes and comments.
My first submission with the 7D MkII.
I originally submitted this image without any added noise, but continued to play around with it and felt that this version with added noise had more of an industrial feel to it. Without the noise, the image felt a bit too "clean" to me. Maybe on reflection it was an erroneous decision, but these are the small changes and differences of opinion that make this hobby so interesting and challenging.
gyaban - congratulations on yet another blue and thanks for taking the time to comment on mine. BTW, I finnished the whole bag of nuts in one sitting - once you start on them, there's no stopping.

DQ - I set the camera date to 2014 instead of 2015 - lesson learned!

Thanks everybody for the kind words. This was a last minute self portrait shoot. With hindsight, I think I should have darkened the backdrop more and maybe converted the image to B&W. Such a low scoring challenge though - didn't expect a 6.0 score to finish this high!

Thanks for the votes and the comments.

I'm pleased with the result achieved by this image, given that it was shot and processed within the "Advanced" editing rules and entered into an "Expert" challenge.
