Very good atmospheric picture. Could do without the border imo.

Certain areas on the subject look (on my monitor) under-exposed.

The Violin Maker

I'm digging the feel of this picture. My only minor complaint is how it seems like there's something missing at the far right side of the composition (around and in front of the arm-chair). Sepia is utilized perfectly nevertheless.

Here's my way belated post-challenge comment for the occasional passer-by perhaps:

First of all I have to say that personally I do NOT believe that this picture meets the challenge %100 because in my view the desired effect in order to create a personification must be intentional whereas this shot is a sort of an outtake. Why do I enter an outtake in the last minute then? Well, simply because I found it funny and thought it would amuse people. It's nice to have people give birth to a smile when they look at your picture.

"Lucky, patient or both?" I am asked. Not lucky to capture the particular candle-posture that I was hoping for, no matter how patient I was, but I enjoyed it all the same. The shot is an outtake from my failed attempts to re-create this old picture: Candles in Love.

I thank the commentators who found it interesting. I suppose I'd agree with ShotMD and just say that the image was somewhat cleverly interpreted.

ps: "Heated Discussion" is probably a better title. Thanks "glad2badad".

Cheers

Marvellous! I call it an "authoritative" shot. Your perspective deserves respect.

i can't make out what this is, but that's not bad at all; it's psychedelic.
