No longer a newbie, moving up!
I've had this chest all my life, i think my grandad made it years and years ago. It's had a rough time over the years and it shows. I thought i'd try photographing it.
PP: RAW adjustments, levels, curves, saturation, cloned out the flash sync lead, a little burn to the inside back panel, contrast, sharpen, black brushed some of the background to make sure it was black (little reflected light spill on the floor)
I had an orange filter on the flash lighting the external.. perhaps i could have had a darker orange/yellow gel on the flash inside.
[should maybe have tried with the lid just propped open a little, may have worked better in relation to the title.]
