  Not sure about the image..I’ve tried different versions: color,B&W, but decided to post a sepia toned monochrome..
  
  should it be a keeper or go straight to the bin?
  
  Need your help!

  It needs to be seen large Valery, then the textures are really clear. It has a very earthy feel, and the sepia seems like a good choice. I like it, not sure what I would change, although it is very dark.
  It’ll be interesting to see what others say.

  Hmm… I am not sure the treatment works. At first I thought it was river rocks. But I think that might be due to the low exposure and sepia treatment. I’d play with it before I made a decision (definitely not straight to the bin)

    Wow, that is much better!
    
    I love the contrasting bits of brightness in the foreground & the back wall.
    
    Question: when you do this style of picture, do you under-expose the image or do you start with a lower amount of available light in the room/on the subjects?

  Not straight to the bin. I would use dodging and burning, also increase the clarity and exposure.

  thanks for asking
  
  actually I control the lighting which hits the setup
  
  I build so-called “shadow box” to prevent any non wanted light to reach the subject and then I choose the exposer

  I would agree with the other comments. Definately a keeper, but some further dodge and burn needed to get the best out of it.

  After seeing the colour version, although I still like the sepia, I think the colour works better,
