Project 52: Childhood Toys

I was not excited about this week's topic and reluctantly completed the goal.  I don't love this image, in and of itself-- but I was happy to see a perfect histogram on my screen indicating a well-balanced exposure.  I also like the play of texture here.  I am getting more comfortable with a good starting point for certain conditions and where my settings should be.  I took about 10+ shots of this setup from differing angles..but this was the first shot, actually.  And, I did not do much to it in post-processing.  That's progress I am happy about.  I just wish it would translate to LIVE subjects. :)
