Hi Martin,
I am looking forward to having a go at this weeks comp on the weekend. I'll have to raid my girlfriend's house for something interesting!
I love this shot, a classic still life with lots of texture. I hope you don't mind but I popped it into PS and tweaked the curves a little and think it might be improved a tiny tad by a convex curves adjustment, just lightening the highlights a little to give a bit more contrast and incidentally showing the grain in the timber a tiny bit better. Just a minor adjustment and I dare say others would feel differently!
I hope my attempt is half as good.
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
