Default Polaroid: New Extinction

Polaroid: Near Extinction

I tried to take this image as a low key image, but I didn't know how to set up the lighting properly, so I ended up editing the image as though its a graphic design.

How do you guys think about this image?

First thought, I like it.

I like the lighting, i might like to see just a smig more of the front since the words stick out so.
I know that my Layout & Typography professor would love this image.

P.S Can you post any info on the pic?

sure.. besides those info, i edited the exposure, gamma and saturation.. my flash unit was to the front of the polaroid camera..

D300
Aperture: F8
Shutter: 1/400
ISO: 200

i also like to see more of the front too, but it was underexposed. i was experimenting with low key photography so it kind of failed.
Focal Length: 50mm

First welcome to DPS,

I think this shot would get more response in other critique area than in Macro because this is not Macro at all.

I think you have a nice image, i like the way you have set your lighting.
