The "commercial poster shot"

- Then I worked on the colors and contrast to offset the "tungsten" lights effect

Here are these two steps :



But as I was still not really satisfied I decided to turn it to B&W... and I quite like the outcoming. In any case, enough to believe it deserves a second snap for my snap collection.
