 Hopefully people dpn't get too picky (yeah, right) and point out the fact that this is actually TWO cameras.

Borrowed some Medium & Large format cameras from a fellow photog (thanks Brian!), and lit them with a large softbox just out of frame. Ambient lighting from another AB800.

Turned out exactly like I wanted, and I love the feel of this image.

Hope it does okay :O)

Not much pp at all really:
used a couple of different exposures for lighting and DoF
convert from raw
crop
levels
minor curves
selective color on the front lens
resize
usm
border

Beautiful image with a great "classic" look and feel. A tad dark on my monitor. 9

The hint of red in the lighting adds much needed depth. Nice choice and well done.

I was initially going to say that I would have liked this to be lighter, but on second and third glance, it looks like a robot with a ray gun. I'm sure that's not what you were going for, but I dig it!! :-)
