I've been away from the throwbacks game for a bit, almost 2 months! Here's a quick jump back into it, with a Christmas related shot. Poinsettia detail, rendered in B&W. Handheld at 1/60 sec, and natural light. Really pops on black background!
Another one from my days at BetterPhoto, this was a Finalist in their monthly contest way back in 2005. It is still on their web site, even though my membership lapsed almost 10 years ago.
