Cool, I like the subtle reflection, at first glance it looks like there is a shadow but it's a reflection of the unlit side of one of the keys.

A thought did cross my mind yesterday about focal length, should we use 35mm equivalents? P&S shooters will struggle with most of these if it's actual focal length.

Thanks Merv,
I think the objective would be to photograph in actual focal lengths.

Thanks Dennis,
When going through the selections on the PP selector, you can check the box to the left of the focal length and the other options to save that option before continuing to re-select. This being an option, you can therefore save the focal length within your own equiptment range to suit your own requirements.

I like this one. Subtle reflection works so well. I like the highs and lows of the B&W shading too. Great job.
