 im probably going to hate myself for submitting this and lowering my average vote recieved score even more.

...anyway, its chess pieces in front of a candle. i blew lightly on the flame to make it appear wider and a little more interesting.


***post voting comment...
well, not as low as i thought. it looks like some people may not have realized it was a real candle and im not sure if some of them knew the "people" were fake.

i didnt like the light of the original so i converted it to grayscale then played with curves to make the different layers of light blend a little better(including the flame), then i converted it back and gave it some yellow.

Interesting concept but I can't say it holds my interest for long because I do not see the candlelight.

What a clever idea! A nice little hommage to the Victorians indeed.
