Dramatic with lighting. Like the title, Conrad.

  Thanks, Melissa. Have a lot of B&W's which I normally wouldn't post, but they fit this month's theme.

  Well composed. It definately reminds me of the fact that you need to relax in a world full of stress. Well done.

  Thanks, Sam. I know the contrast is a little strong, but they were looking for B&W in this month's theme, and this certainly has those extremes.

  Thanks, Chris. Am recycling some of my better older images. This was a $50 first prize winner for me in our annual contest where I worked until last year plus someone who saw it there bought it for another $50. I should continue to be so lucky!

  I admire your great capture of this lighting, and your glasses with the book is classic. I feel very calm looking at this photo :-) Nicely done!

  Thanks, Joan, Chris & Lonnie! Liked the shadow pattern from the blinds on the table,so arranged the book and glasses there to see how that would look. Love the contrast of light and dark. Guess that's why I like B&W so much.

  I really think you are onto something Sherlock. The B&W. The shades from the windows casted there for the mystery effect. The glasses laying there to let the viewers know the detective needed a break from it all...all very well planned and moving and clever. It appeals to me. Great work. I like your style. Give us more. -Laura Swan

  Thanks, Laura. Have been converting most of the color photos I take with my D40 to B&W. That feature was a requirement for me when I was going to get a digital since B&W is my favorite format. I like strong contrast although I think I already said that somewhere here about this image. When I saw the shadow pattern on the table I knew I had to use it in a photo.
