Into The Night

This was my feeble attempt to experiment with Hedgecoe's "Using Candlelight". My original plan was to illuminate only the face. Everything else is covered with garments. That's where things start to go wrong. I adjusted the brightness/contrast until I could see only trace outlines of the garments. I didn't pay enough attention to others (including my other monitors ) that may not be able to calibrate their monitors to view the picture as I was seeing it.

Add some cropping issues and likely an uninteresting picture to most people and the result seems predictable.

Overall I'm happy with the picture. I did what I set out to do and learned a lot from the experience.

Thanks to all.

This picture will give me a lot to reflect upon in the coming days. When I first looked at this image it didn't really appeal to me. I didn't relate to it. Lots of other people have looked at this picture and thought it to be great.

Today I reflect upon thoughts that maybe if I had spent another 30 seconds, would I have scored it higher. Given the very close finish between the top 3 pictures I feel partially responsible for the possibility of this picture not doing even better.

Enough of my personal issues..

Congrats on finishing in the top 3, well deserved and nicely done.
