This is a wonderful still life! The sharpness and clarity are very good. I love the golden candlelight colors surrounded by darkness. Best of luck in the contest!

Good Morning

Original thought and very nice composition. I really like the light treatment. You did this very nicely. Details are sharp and clear throughout. Colors are natural and very rich.

This is a really nice story image well presented and I really enjoyed this one. Thank you for sharing with me.

An interesting picture of the Key to Alcatraz propped up on the book or Bible behind it lit by the flame of the candle in the brass candle stick with a few nickels or dimes around it. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A nice still life..with interesting subjects. Was this a scene at Alcatraz?

Your sepia tones are perfect for this scene..with each object taking on those tones in unison while the dark shadows are adding the drama. The live flame does just that...adds life. I like this. Well done! Best of luck in the contest!

An interesting capture of a piece of history and very well presented! You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good luck!

glad to hear that you were just a visitor and not the last one who escaped from the Alcatraz prison with the key of your cell; lol;
an excellent entry to the key contest.

What an attractive and interesting picture this one is,my friend!
It has something of a classically 'eerie' look to it that I'm enjoying a whole lot!
'Good Show'!

I love reading an artist's commentary and want to thank you for yours.

Nicely done with a mysterious feel to it. The colour palette is stunning, warm and inviting. The struggle visually is : is this a photograph of a key or a candle as both hold great visual pull.

Your post processing is gorgeous and the chiaroscuro effect is felt.
