you need paper towels
And dish detergent. I need to start a shopping list.
Agreed! The hammer was a stretch, but the only thing that I could come up with!
I also agree with the WB (I noted the skin-tones being off) and I really like your analogy to old painted portraits!
The hammer was laying on the island and I figured it would make a nice touch. A good way to ward off anyone trying to get to the vodka; I mean you don't want to dirty a good knife.
I messed up with the WB. I shot for flash, but Canon's flash WB shoots a little warm to compensate for their cooler flash colors, I think most DLSRs do according to Mr. Hobby said so. The AB is a bit warm anyways, so it almost ended up looking like it was set for daylight and shot in tungsten. When I adjust WBs, I tend to bring them a bit to the cool side anyways. That with a touch of desaturation really did it.
I shot this weeks photo last night. I can't wait to see what everyone says based on how I shot it. I met up with a friend, broke out a camera and a light, took three test shots, one mis fire, one botched attempt, and one spot on attempt. About 10 minutes. I went in with what I wanted in my head and got it done.
