Great lighting technique. Can you describe how made the corners dark? Your shot has a gritty feel to it, like when ones eyes' are full of sleep, ready to be washed out by a shower. Nice work.

Love it, Kevin! Really nice. That lens does look like a lot of fun, too.
It really is! Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't have shelled out for it, but it really is a unique piece of glass. 12mm on a Full Frame camera is bizarrely stunning.

Part of it is the lens vignetting on that lens wide open, which is even more pronounced in the low-lighting environment and the fact that the shower head was only about 6" from the front of the lens (at those extreme close-distances, corner performance is horrid, which is what helped me ). Further, when I brought it into Lightroom, the process of increasing black levels, contrast and adding more vignetting adds even more to the dark corners. Hope that helps!
Thanks everyone for the comments! I really like the way it came out too! It was one of those times where I saw the topic and had an idea and images in my head instantly! Gotta love those days...
