    Aha! The famous "chocolate cure all". Works for me, and I'm not a chocolate fanatic.

    Using the title of First Aid, I thought that I was going to see a cast on the stem of a broken wine glass.

    Thanks, everyone! If only my wife had "gotten it" the way all of you did.

    Wonderful image and a perfect fit in my view... Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants which some say helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and my cholesterol and BP stats are that of a young child.

    PS I'm a chocolate fanatic!

    All this talk about chocolate begs a question: What in the world was I thinking? I should have toned the image to at least subliminally suggest the color of chocolate to the viewer. Now corrected:

    For those who are interested, I captured this photo 20 minutes before sunrise. The scene is underneath a bridge, so I think at least 90% of the light was man-made. The scene was definitely quite dark.

    ISO 5000
    f/2 on a 35mm prime lens for which that is the largest aperture
    Despite that I nailed the exposure, I felt the image had a little too much noise. So, I used a small amount of noise reduction.

    My mistake is that I could have taken the shot at ISO 2500 rather than ISO 5000. I had my camera set for a completely different series of anticipated circumstances requiring a shutter speed of 1/200. When I came upon this scene that was not the type of shot I was looking for, I forgot to change my Auto ISO setting to allow a slower shutter speed, which in turn would have also allowed a lower ISO value.

    My only excuse is that I was operating on only three hours of sleep...and I'll take it!
