 I held a neclace in my hand and shot this picture. I used low light and a black and white setting. Post processing I
pumped up the contrast and added some brightness. I also dodged one of the key and hand. I added a bit of color to make it look different. I thought it added a little character :)

The balance of the composition is good, and I like the idea of the photo. I am not sure that you have been entirely successful with your low key technique, though. The blocked out shadow areas in the clenched fingers don't hold any detail, yet nor are they black, on my monitor just a dark murky grey as though the area doesn't exist!

Dark, forbidding. I like the image a lot, although I think it needs a title that's less wimpy.
