I underexposed and used lab mode in PS. After that it was dodge and burn.

Cool effect. Didn't recognize the subject matter at first. Interesting how special effects can make something so commonplace stand out as "fine art".

interesting take on paper. well done.

Very interesting. Nice work with the shadows.

Luminous! That's really an amazing photo Matthew. Beauty in a common object indeed! :)
